I've had this for ages.

I use it purely to connect my mixing desk to my PC to record on Sonar cakewalk. It does everything i need it to do for home recording and makes a great tool for copying Vinyls and tapes (using the RCA outputs on the Turntable/tape player) It would be excellent if it had a 1/4 input on it, so i could just grab it and my laptop for recording on the move

The only problems i've had are that it can be a bit noisy and playback through the headphone input seems to lag but sounds fine when plugged in from the PC outputs/ Monitor Speakers.

Good for someone who wants something simple and reliable.

The Behringer u-control UCA202 is an awesome converter. I was able to record with no trouble. The only problem was that when playing back to the mixer, everynow and then, the audio would break up slightly. But, for recording, this is the best.

noise during recording after warmup

Nice audio interface. Worked well with MacbookPro. After about 6 months hissing noise produced in one channel after warmup. Later this happened to both channels. Still worked but seems like a problem with the ADC portion of the system. Was happy with this unit until the hissing started, now I just go with direct line-in to the computer.

I used this for playback from the laptop to mixer. Notice songs tend to break up momentarily, whereas thru the headphone jack it's clean. At least it didn't cost much. Haven't had any issues with other Behringer gear.

Gettin' Whatcha Pay For...

I got this unit from Musician's Friend, and enjoyed their fast service, low pricing, and general "lack of headaches" whenever I deal with them. Online retailing is harder than it might seem to the consumer... but these folks deliver. My kudos!

I've been a Behringer junkie for years - Uli knows his price-point engineering! The unit itself is a cheap, low-cost means of getting audio into and out of my computer. But, it doesn't get much better - literal "plug and play" (I've iused mine on several XP systems, and have yet to need to load a driver). You just plug it in, wait a couple of minutes for the computer to realize it, and away you go.

It's cheap, it's plastic, and if you step on it, it'll break. Who's ever drunk and wobbly in their studios late at night? Put it on the desk, and you'll be fine.

My only nit to pick is that its' input and output gain is somewhat anemic compared to higher-priced interfaces I've used. I have ways to get around that in most cases...

For ripping LP's and cassettes, it's quiet enough, although the weak gain means that (in a perfect world) I'll spit the signal through some gain stage bfore it gets to the UCA-202- but it's just too weak for me to use for my main recording studio inerface. I only notice this because I spent my money on keyboards and guitars, not on LCD monitors... so my 4 old CRT monitors increase the noise floor unacceptably. Folks with less RF bombarding their project studios might not even notice it.

Bottom line - if you need a cheap, portable, reliable interface, this Behringer is the bomb. If you need pristine quality and high gain, be prepared to shell out a bit more than thirty bones.

With the caveats above, I LOVE this cheap little box. It gets stuffed into my compuer bag, so no matter what the opportunity, it's there with me. Fortune favors the prepared Musician.

Either way, deal with these guys at MF - they're rock-solid in what they're doing, even in this lousy economy.
