I have bought the Behringer UCA 122 for digitising my old records and tapes.
When I hooked it up to the PC it took some time to install - something - but no
new icon appeared so I don't know what was installed. I tried getting help from
Nehringer, and someone did reply, telling me I should use Audacity "or the like",
and set it to accepting signals from the UCA thing. I don't know how to do that.

Is Audacity the best tool for the job? Is there other software, more specific to
the UCA 122 that I could install? Or, if I must use Audacity, what do I do to
connect it to the UCA 122?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Re: UCA 122 problems

Dear Dieter,
Audacity should do just fine for recording stereo audio from your old records or tapes to your computer with your UCA interface.
We have a video on our YouTube channel that describes how to set this up with our UFO202 interface, which is very similar to the UCA202/UCA222 interfaces.
One other thing to know is if you are using the UCA202 / UCA222, the RCA inputs on these interfaces are designed for Line Level sources and do not have a Phono Preamp. Your turntable will need to have the ability to output line level signal to use it directly with these interfaces. If it does not, you will need a phono preamp in between the turntable and interface such as our PP400. This is the reason we offer the UFO202, which does include the option to switch the RCA inputs to Phono level.

If you follow this video you should be able to get up and running. Let us know how you make out!
