What is a good interface for a digital noob? I've only been on 4-tracks. What is a good comp link for a mic? Or is it more software? thanks.

I am not sure I understand your question...but this device works best with USB 3.0.

There is a line level out which you can run straight into your pc. Just remember it'll be mono. You don't NEED an audio interface. Most PCs have a line level or microphone input you could use. The quality would be better with an audio interface. It is likely not needed to make this work though.

Have you tested the digital (S/PDIF) IN and OUT on linux as well? On Ubuntu 11.04, the analog connections seem to work great, but I'm not seeing an option for digital in Sound Preferences. Wondering if upgrading to a distro in the 3.x kernel series would help.

yes that's what I use. I'll be honest it took me almost a month to figure out. but once I did I love the software. Don't expect it to cut the tracks in the right spot. I always erase their tracks and put them back in the right spot. I do that by finding track listings on wiki, iTunes, amazon, or a site called discogs and write down the track times. It takes a little work. but I haven't found a software yet that cuts the tracks right automatically granted Ive only tried a few. So if you go for it be patient. I don't ever tinker with any of the effects so not sure how good they are. Like echo and crap like that. I just go for a good clean transfer. It does work good for that. In my opion. I did however buy an old turntable for just listening. One with pitch control and the adjustable counterweight and all that kind of fancy stuff. How bout that for an answer. Peace. Hit me up if you got mo questions. I don't mind talkin about records and record players.

OK, please forgive this question as I'm new to digital recording; I just got this product and the instruction booklet does not talk about installing drivers for my machine which is Windows 7. Are the drivers on the included disk compatible with Windows 7? Or should I track down a Windows 7 only driver. If so, where can I find one I can safely (without risk of malware/virus) download one. Thanks

You know what . . . .? I haven't used my digital voice recorder since I got my Macbook which records my voice and then I can lay a track of music over the voice recording. I use it for my hypnosis client's sessions. So I can't help with your question, sorry.

I use Senn PC360 and have noticed a difference when gaming and recording with Audacity, escpecially in the analog mic input. Using lossless audio is where this card will really shine, so make sure your music library is encoded with ALAC or FLAC, and maybe try HD Tracks for some higher-than-CD quality music!

I'm not familiar with Behringer myself, but I've owned two M-Audio Interfaces: an earlier model which I gave to a friend (still working today) and then this M-Track2 Model. The quality in both product and recording is unsurpassable in the price range. M-Audio makes a solid product that is easy to use and (in my opinion) a very professional looking piece of equipment. I used Audacity, the M-Track2, and the MXL 770 Cardioid Condenser Microphone, to record some vocals and then imported the files into FL Studio. Without any effects or touch ups, the vocals came out clean, thick, and crisp. I use a pop filter too, but regardless, I love M-Audio products. Hope this helps some? Lol I go on rants and don't know if I actually say anything useful.

Can you please recommend me any recording software to use with this? I just don't know any! :-) Thanks!

Twisterjester has said it all. If you need more than one XLR (Std mic input) channel, you need to look at other mixers.

I recommend using a dedicated analog to S/PDIF, or analog to tos-link interface.,(depending on your setup). Although i haven't used the UCA222 in this manner, You may end up losing a nice audio interface, or at best, having degraded audio, (if this type of configuration would work at all).

Here's a link to the manual - ftp://ftp.steinberg.net/Download/Hardware/UR824/UR824_OperationManual_en.pdfI've been really happy with this audio interface. It almost doesn't need a manual. I was attracted to this product because it is higher quality than others on the market, but is still easy to use.The only hurdle I had with the setup was the setting up the virtual software mixer that controls the inputs on the interface. Mainly used for setting up elaborate headphone mixes for multiple users. I just had never used one before and got the hang of it pretty quickly. I found that I could more or less use it or not.

By recording, I assume you mean with a DAW? Like Ableton, or FL Studio? I use both and it's way better than ASIO or integrated. If you mean analog recording, I have no experience with it there.

Mine came with Studio One 2. Which is an absolutely amazing DAW. I am producing sounds I got out of Pro Tools for so much less $$$. I love the AudioBox. And I really really love Studio One 2!!!! I have gotten other people trying it and they love it too. Better than Pro Tools and as easy as GarageBand. Unlimited tracks, plugins and buses. It's pretty awesome. 2 inputs for mic/guitar

I use the XLR and crossoverTo be honest, I have not fully learned how to use this thing, but it works very well for me.I love this sub

I advise Scarlett 2i4 if you need 2 separate outputs for DJing, NI does the same but I had glitches on this soundcard.Roland is decent choice for sure, had good experience with M-Audio too.

Its an older interface that was designed for older legacy type pc's. Hard to say. Most of us had problems getting it to work with the software that comes with it which is Cubase. It did show up on Audacity but I could not get it to show on the Cubase 5 that came with it. I had no mixing in/out. You got a figure the price. As you can see from other anwsers we all switched. I switched to TasCam which has a nice clear sound using a simple cheap Pyle PK 4 on stand.
