3.3 FCA202 control panel

In addition to the device drivers on the PC, a CONTROL PANEL
is installed during the ins tallation process. If you use an ASIO
driver, use this sof tware to congure the FCA202. You’ll nd
more information on the drivers in Chapter 4.1.

In Windows systems, the panel can be access ed from the
“Start Menu”. In the “Start Menu”, choose “Control Panel”,
andthen look for the entry “FCA202”. Alternatively, you may
nd that the audio soft ware you use has a dialog for opening
up the panel. For more information, please re fer to the manual
for your audio ap plication.

With Mac OS X, you r st have to select the FCA202 in
“System Settings” under the entry “sound”. You can then
directly congure the c ard from the audio applic ation that
you use. For more information, please refer to the appropriate
software documentation.

(10) The ABOUT section gives information about the driver

versions that are used. Compare the version numbers
given here with the drivers available via Inter net from
behringer.de. If you have any problems, you should always
try to install the newes t driver software.

(11) Use the LATENCY SELECT slider to s et the desired latency.

Clickthe APPLY button to accept the sele ction made.

◊ You can only set the latency from the CONTROL PANEL

if you are using an ASIO driver. Very short latency
values can lead to audio dr opouts. If this happens,
pull the slider further to the right so that you set
up higher values. You’ll find further information in
Chapter 4.1.

(12) The SAMPLING FREQUENCY selection menu allows you to

set the sample rate for the digital conver ter. The available

4. Working with the FCA202

4.1 Device drivers and latency

A device driver i s an interface that ensure s communication
between t he software (audio ap plication) and the hardware
(the FCA202). In recent year s, the PC platform has wi tnessed the
establish ment of several dierent dr iver models for sound ca rds.
Some of thes e drivers cannot be use d for simultaneous recor ding
and playback or f or working with sof tware plug-ins, sin ce they do
not suppor t the full range of func tions provided by prof essional
sound card s and cause a long time delay (laten cy).

The FCA202 sof tware provides a number of driver models
for Windows platforms and for professional recording.
With standard Windows-applications, you don’t need to worry
about which driver is currently being used by the operating
system. You only need to selec t the correct playback device via
the Windows “Cont rol Panel”.

However, as soon as you start to produce or record
computer-based music and work w ith special audio sof tware
such as Cubase, Live, Logic, Tracktion, or others, you should
make sure that you selected an A SIO driver. This driver model

supports the full range of func tions oered by your hardware
and gives you the b est performance.

You will normally nd the selection of a driver model for the
FCA202 hardware in an audio set up menu or in the standard
default settings of the soft ware you are using. If necess ary,
checkthe documentation for your sof tware.

If you work with the program Sonar from Cakewalk, you can
also use the WDM K S driver, since this achieves comparable
latencies to the ASIO driver. In case of doubt, chec k whether
the ASIO or the WDM K S driver gives better results with your
Sonarsystem.

Things are much simpler with the Mac platform.
With OS X, thereis only one driver model, the CoreAudio driver.
Thus there´s no need to worry about which driver to selec t.

◊ In PC s ystems, the latenc y very much depend s on the

driver used. For recording, always select an ASIO driver
and use the CONTRO L PANEL to set up a lower l atency
(less than 16 ms). The smaller the value, the better.
If audio dropouts occur, try increasing the latency
in stages.

To provide a professional recording interface between mixing
console and computer, you can use the FC A202 in combination
with a suitable mixing cons ole that includes subgroup outputs.
This type of setup allows you to record several signals in the
computer at the s ame time, to simultaneously play back
several takes or playbacks which have been recorded, and to
listen to the whole recording via loudspeakers or headphones.
Figure 4.1 shows one possible setup with an XENYX 1204FX
mixingconso le.

Connect t he outputs of the subgr oup (in this case ALT 3-4
OUT) with th e inputs of the FCA202 (9). You can choo se to
connect t he outputs (8) of th e interface either to th e TAPE
INPUT socket sor to a stereo channel outp ut (e.g. LINE 7/8).
Connectyo ur loudspeakers to the CONTROL RO OM outputs of the
mixing conso le. You can connec t control headphone s to the 
socket (1) of the FCA202 or to the headphones output of your
mixingconso le.

By routing each channel that you want to record through the
ALT 3-4 subgroup, you can now use the input channels of the
mixing conso le to record dierent signals (e.g. microphone,
guitar, sound module etc.) in the computer. If you connect
the OUT sockets of the FCA 202 to channel inputs 7/8
(not via TAPE INPUT), make sure that the signal is not switched
to the subgroup but instead to the main output of your mixer
(MUTEkey on the XENYX 1204F X in channel 7/8 not pressed).
Otherwise feedb ack can occur. Make sure that you use the
SOURCE sec tion on the mixing console to select the correct
monitoring p aths (ALT 3-4 + MAIN MIX or ALT 3-4 + TAPE).

If you lead the FC A202 back via a channel input
(not TAPE INPUT), you can also use the Aux c hannel to set up
a monitor mix for live musicians. To do this, use the Aux Send
(e.g. Aux 1) in this channel input. If the musicians want to
hear themselves as well as the playback or previous recording
takes, use the Aux Sends in the re cording channels to mix in the
recording signals with the monitor mix.

Its small dimensions means that the FCA202, in combination
with a laptop computer, provides the ideal solution for a mobile
recording s tudio. All that you need is a small mixing console
or two microphone preampliers, so that you can connect
microphones. Given its size, the MINIMIC MIC80 0 is especially
suitable for this type of application. Figure 4.2 show s a setup
that includes a laptop computer, FCA202, and two MINIMIC
MIC800 microphone preampliers.

Connect the two MINIMIC MIC800 units to the inputs (9)
ofthe FCA202. With two active loudspeakers connec ted to the
outputs (8) of the FCA202, you c an control your recording and
via the -output (1) provide a musician with a playback
signal. If you don’t us e a pair of loudspeakers, you can use
headphones to listen to your mix in case you don´t have to
provide a music ian with a monitor signal.

A setup that includes a laptop computer, an FCA202,
headphones,and a sequencer, provides a compac t and mobile
music production environment.

5. Audio Connections
