**need serious help!!** Im trying to record my mixes. I bought a Behringer UFO202 interface and plug an RCA cable to the bacc of the mixer to the Behringer inputs and use audacity to record. Wen I rwcord, it sound HORRIBLE. I know there must be a way to record my mixes, i tried runnin a rca to 3.5 mm jacc to the s microphone input, but that just sound as terrible. Anybody suggest a different aound card, recordin program, anything?!?!!!? ---

does it sound good on your speakers? I had this same problem and the volume levels were just simply too loud in audacity. Try turning them down, alot. Do you have it plugged in to your headphone jack? ---

I tried everything. EVERYTHING. I use Torq Conectiv, and Serato vinyls to work with Virtual DJ, wen im mixin it up, it sounds sood thru the speakers, but wen i record it in audacity and play it bacc, its distorted as hell. I tried adjuatin the volumes thru audacity and the control panel for the input, but its either loud & distorted, or too low. I just want to know wut hardware or qut ever to buy and use so i can record my mixes with high quality, like DJs do on mixtapes. Is that too much to ask for? ---

when it is too low is it distorted? If not then you just gotta find that right spot between too low and too high (distorted). I don’t think it is a hardware issue since it sounds good on your speakers, it is probably the software. Try another free program or a trial of something like adobe audition. also, look at the waveform it generates, is it clipping? if you could take a screen picture i’m sure someone could help more. ---

check that you mic in doesn’t have any form of software enhancement switched on in the software - I know that my Win7 install did some weird bass boost thing that I had to turn off else it sounds like ass.
