Re: Setting Recording Level
BGravato had an ART pre-amp. I don't recall if it was the USB version or not.

Re: Setting Recording Level
Thank you everyone for your comments. I have read all the references but I and am becoming more confused, so can anyone please tell me if I should be able to adjust the output volume on a Behringer UCA222? If so, which part of all the references do I need?
Re: Setting Recording Level
The UCA-222 (and others in this family of interfaces) do not have gain control (some may have a volume control for headphones, but that's all).
The UFO-202 has a switch for selecting "phono" or "line". "Phono" is for turntables that don't have a built in phono pre-amp.
The UCA-202 has a switch for direct monitor.
The UCA-222 has a switch for direct monitor and an optical output, and is a dark pink colour.
Other than that, these devices are virtually identical.
The level should be controlled by setting the output level of whatever you are plugging into the UCA's inputs.
On Windows there 'may' be a volume control for the device in the Windows Sound control panel settings. This control, if present, works by scaling the digital audio data - much like Audacity's "Amplify" effect. On some Windows machines there may also be a "boost" setting (also in the Windows Sound control panel settings). "Boost" (if present) should be off. The recording level (if present) will probably need to be set to minimum.

Re: Setting Recording Level
OK Steve. Thanks for that. I was using it with a stand alone turntable but I have found that if I take the input from my Rotel amplifier and a separate turntable, I can control the input volume from there. It works fine.

Super
I'll close this topic as "solved".
