16 U-CONTROL UCA202 User Manual
To provide a professional recording interface between mixing
console and computer, you can use the UCA202 in combination
with a suitable mixing console that includes subgroup outputs.
This type of setup allows you to record several signals in the
computer at the same time, to simultaneously play back several
takes or playbacks which have been recorded, and to listen to
the whole recording via loudspeakers (or headphones).
Figure 4.1 shows a possible setup with one UCA202.
Connect the outputs of the subgroup (in this case ALT 3-4 OUT)
with the inputs of the UCA202 (6). You can choose to connect
the outputs (5) of the interface either to the TAPE INPUT sockets
or to your monitor speakers. You can connect control headphones
to the socket (3) of the UCA202 or to the headphones
output of your mixing console. Use the USB cable supplied with
the unit to connect your PC or MAC via the USB interface.
By routing each channel that you want to record through
the ALT3-4 subgroup, you can now use the input channels
of the mixing console to record different signals (e.g.
microphone, guitar, sound module, etc.) in the computer.
If you connect the OUT jacks of the UCA202 to channel inputs
7/8 (not via TAPE INPUT), make sure that the signal is not
switched to the subgroup but instead to the main output of
your mixer (MUTE key on the UB1204FX-PRO in channel 7/8 not
pressed). Otherwise feedback can occur. Make sure that you use
the SOURCE section on the mixing console to select the correct
monitoring paths (ALT 3-4 and MAIN MIX or ALT 3-4 and TAPE).
If you lead the UCA202 back via a channel input (not TAPE
INPUT), you can also use the aux path in the channel to set up
a monitor mix for live musicians. To do this, use the Aux Send
(e.g. Aux 1) in this channel input. If the musicians want to hear
themselves as well as the playback or previous recording
takes, use the Aux Sends in the recording channels to mix in
the recording signals with the monitor mix.

5. Audio Connections

Although there are various ways to integrate the UCA202 into
your studio or live set-up, the audio connections to be made
will basically be the same in all cases:
