[Tim Giebel-Inanloo]

Good point!
I am using the ufo202 which also has an optional built in preamp for digitising LPs, this seems to be recording to my computer in stereo.

Be aware that if using the UCA 202 with say Audacity on Windows that it will only record in mono. Also you need to set Transport Options to 'softare play through'

Here are the instructions for configuring the UDA202 to record in stereo.

Hi Steve,

I've been trying to find an extra "properties" setting in the Control Panel that sets the USB Audio Codec to mono but can't seem to locate it anywhere.. In Manage Audio Devices/Sound I've looked in every Tab[Playback, Record, even the Sounds Tab]+ each Properties tab & I've also clicked on Change settings in USB Audio Codec Properties but I can't find any additional setting to change from Mono to Stereo. I tried looking in the Control Panel Home[also in Classic View]to see if there was another way to locate a setting to switch from Mono to Stereo but unless I missed it, there doesn't seem to be one, not in Hardware & Sound, Device Manager, Sound or Realtek HD Audio Manager? The Device Status claims that it's working properly & the Drivers are up to date, so just to be sure, I tested the UCA & both channels are working, the lead is new & all connections seem to be fine, so unless I've been looking in the wrong places, I'm at a loss, any idea's at all...please?

These are the steps for configuring Windows Vista for recording from a Behringer UCA 202.
The steps for other USB sound cards on both Vista and Windows 7 / 8 / 10 are likely to be similar.
I would recommend following this list carefully step-by-step, including the "optional" steps.

To configure Recording using the Behringer UCA 202 USB:

Start button > Control Panel
(Control Panel Home not Classic View) >
Click on "Hardware and Sound"
Click on "Sound"
Click on the "Recording" tab
Click on "USB Adio Codec" (so that it is highlighted)
Click the "Properties" button
(Optional) Type "UCA 202 Line Input" in the text box
(Optional) Click the "Change Icon" button, select the icon that looks like Line-in connectors and click "OK"
Ensure that "Use this device (enable)" is selected at the bottom
Click the "Apply" button
Click on the "Advanced" tab
In the "default format" button (drop-down list) select "2 channels 16 bit 44100 Hz (CD Quality)"
Ensure that the two "exclusive mode" options are selected
Click the "Apply" button
Click on the "Levels" tab, set the slider to 100 and click the "OK" button
Click the "OK" button

To configure Playback using the Behringer UCA 202 USB:

Start button > Control Panel
(Control Panel Home not Classic View) >
Click on "Hardware and Sound"
Click on "Sound"
Ensure that the "Playback" tab is selected
Click on "USB Adio Codec" (so that it is highlighted)
Click the "Properties" button
(Optional) Type "UCA 202 Line Output" in the text box
(Optional) Click the "Change Icon" button, select the icon that looks like Line-out connectors and click "OK"
Ensure that "Use this device (enable)" is selected at the bottom
Click the "Apply" button
Click on the "Levels" tab and set the level to 100
Click on the "Balance" button and ensure that both "L" and "R" are set to 100
Ensure that the "speaker" icon does not have a "red circle with diagonal line" on it (that symbol means that output is muted)
Select the "Enhancements" tab
Select "Disable All Enhancement" and click the "Apply" button (for recording purposes it is best to aim for "accuracy" over "enhancement")
Select the "Advanced" tab
Select "16 bit 44100 Hz (CD Quality)"
Ensure that the two "exclusive mode" options are selected
Click the "Apply" button (only available if you have made changes)
Click the "OK" button
Click the "OK" button

Note that once set up on a USB port always use the same port in future. It seems that if you use a different port the above configuration will not be available.

They are C90s ... but if someone is willing to lend something that can connect tape deck to a Mac (I assume it is newish and does not have analogue input) then he will do them.

Birmingham's my home town, although I live in Cambridgeshire now. However, if you can't find anyone I do pop up to Brum from time to time. Having said that, I can see about 40 - 50 tapes in that first picture. Assuming they're C90s, it's going to take quite a few days to rip them all.

I spotted some Peel tapes that were record 85-89 .... Pause/resume snippets.
The owner does not want the tapes to leave his place ... especially as the band he was in features on at least one of them.

So .... is there anyone in the Birmingham area willing to help out with a visit and perhaps lend a bit of kit to get the audio digitised?
He has the tape deck that was used to record them (I think).

FM recording with roof antenna.
