For this device, I am running it through Guitar Rig 5 and Mixcraft with impressive results. I have absolutely NO crackling, noise or latency issues. I have an above average desktop computer with a motherboard sound card and Windows 7 x64. If you install Behringer's 64 bit drivers and ASIO4All, configure everything properly, you shouldn't have any problems. For those who've had to run an audio chord from the unit's headphone jack directly to their speakers; this step is not required to get results. If you use ASIO4All and Behringer's USB driver together, you can select your audio output to go directly through your sound card after the signal's been processed through your recording software. This is why I purchased the device in the first place. Because I wanted to work with a digital signal within my recording and Guitar Rig software. The Behringer UCG102 allows you to do just that. Here are some steps to get you going in the right direction. By the way, I went through some frustrating trial and error getting this device to work the way I wanted in Windows 7 x64. It would be nice if Behringer would update their manual and website to provide better setup instruction. This, in my opinion, is the only negative against the product. Basic Windows 7 setup... 1. Download Behringer's Windows x64 driver from their web page... [...] 2. Run the Behringer driver setup and when it asks you to reboot; Go ahead and do that. 3. Download and install the ASIO4All drivers from their web page... [...] 4. If the Behringer UCG102 isn't plugged into to the USB port, do that now. If it's already plugged in, remove it and plug it back in again. This step ensures that the driver is properly loaded and the device is up and running in Windows. 5. Go to Windows 7 Control Panel or do a menu search for 'Sound' to configure your Windows Playback and Recording settings. 6. The Behringer still needs to be plugged in to configure these settings. In your Windows 'Sound' settings, make sure your 'Playback' device is set to your default speakers. If using headphones, set them as the "Default" Playback device. 7. Under the 'Recording' tab, select 'Line In' and if the Behringer USB driver is loaded and running properly, you should see an option to select "Behringer USB WDM Audio 2.8.40' as the Line-in device. The '2.8.40' is the driver version you downloaded from their web page and that number may change as drivers are updated. 8. Now you can start up your Guitar Rig or effects processor software. In Guitar Rig, you have to go into 'Audio and Midi Settings' and ensure that you are using 'Asio' as your driver and "Asio4All V2' as your device. Under the 'Routing' tab you have to make sure your 'Outputs' are set to either speakers or headphones. Under 'Inputs', make sure you have 'Behringer USB Audio 1' under just the 'L' or left channel only. The settings under the 'MIDI' tab don't affect this type of setup so there's nothing you need to do there. *** Step 8 is where you will normally run into problems and to fix this, you have to configure your ASIO4All settings. In the far right corner of your Windows taskbar, you should see a green icon, which if clicked will bring up your ASIO4All configuration window. You can also select 'ASIO Config' in Guitar Rig within the 'Audio and Midi Settings' and get into the same window. To get everything working, you have to click on the wrench to open the ASIO configuration. This is where you'll have to do some trial and error by clicking on the input and output device icons. What you're looking for is a green On/Off button with green arrows next to them for your input and output devices. For example, under my settings, I have the following ASIO devices showing green buttons and arrows... Top selection = Output: 'High Definition Audio Device" Bottom Selection = Input: 'Behringer USB WDM Audio 2.8.40' = (In: 2x 44.1-48kHz, 32 bits; Out: 2x 44.1-48kHz, 32 bits) A blacked out On/Off button icon with no green arrow, or a red 'X' next to these settings means something's wrong or you haven't clicked on the On/Off button icon so that device is actually turned on. Click on the wrench to exit out of the ASIO configuration. If you're not getting all the selection options in the ASIO or audio/midi configuration settings, try the following... 1. Close Guitar Rig and other recording software 2. Unplug the Behringer UCG102 and plug it back in again 3. Repeat steps 6, 7 and 8 and also check your Windows 'Sound' Playback and Recording settings to make sure they haven't changed If your using recording software like Mixcraft, you also have to use the ASIO device drivers within that software in order to record your guitar. By the way, I am able to run Guitar Rig's VST and real-time record with all Guitar Rig's effects within Mixcraft and achieve impressive results. Latency is not an issue because I'm using the ASIO drivers in combination with Behringer's USB driver. If you're having troubles, don't give up and keep at it. You'll be happy with the results and there's nothing like being able to record in real-time while using awesome guitar effects. I love it! Review: Great 1/4" interface, works with iPad 3/New iPad, but requires Camera Adapter Kit - I am very happy with this product, and am writing to confirm that this device works well with the 3rd generation iPad ("The New iPad", which was released 16 March 2012) but, requires the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit (MC531ZM/A) 's USB converter to actually connect to the iPad3 30 pin input. Other USB to 30 pin converters may work as well, but I have not verified. Unlike guitar interfaces that convert 1/4" guitar cable to 1/8" microphone input, such as the IK Multimedia AmpliTube iRig ", this product connects to the iPad 30 pin input, providing a high quality, low noise digital connection. I have experimented with 1/4" to 1/8" converters, and found that there is extreme noise (apparently from "cross talk") which renders them unusable when playing through an overdrive/distortion amp model. With the UCG102, the 30 pin connection seems to eliminate this problem, providing excellent distortion and f/x sound possibilities. I chose this product over the iRiffPort or Apogee Jam for two reasons: better price, and additional flexibility. This product, in combination with the camera kit, accomplishes the same result for approximately $62, as opposed to $99 for the above mentioned interfaces. Substituting a 3rd party USB to 30 pin connector could reduce the price further, but I have not verified this compatibility. I also believe going this route provides more flexibility, as the camera connector kit can be used for USB midi interfaces and a wide variety of other peripheral equipment (cameras, keyboards, etc). Additionally, the UCG102 can provide a 1/4" interface for PC and Mac computers as well, while competing 30-pin products do not support USB input. Finally, I would like to recommend that users have a set of headphones or speakers to plug into either the UCG 102 or iPad headphone jack, as the iPad's on board speaker seems to be disabled when this is in use. Good luck, and rock on. ## Features - Plug in your favorite guitar and turn your pc or mac* computer into a guitar amp and recording system without the need for any other hardware - Stereo headphone output lets you jam with your computer and can also be used for monitoring with active monitor speakers - Directly works with your pc or mac computer-ultra-low latency ASIO* driver for pc audio optimization available at behringer;com - Connect the guitar link interface to the camera connection kit of your iOS device and enjoy jamming with countless guitar apps ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000PAPO9W | | Audio Input | USB | | Best Sellers Rank | #79,623 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #481 in Computer Recording Audio Interfaces | | Brand | Behringer | | Brand Name | Behringer | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Personal Computer | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 out of 5 stars 1,263 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00689076748872, 04033653030502 | | Included Components | Guitar to USB Interface | | Item Type Name | GUITAR LINK UCG102 The Ultimate Guitar-to-USB Interface for Recording and Jamming with your PC/Mac or iOS device | | Item Weight | 3.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | Music Tribe US | | Manufacturer Part Number | UCG102 | | Maximum Sample Rate | 48 KHz | | Model Number | UCG102 | | Number of Channels | 2 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operating System | Windows, macOS | | Supported Software | ASIO driver for PC | | UPC | 616268702008 801184679521 133587045727 411378073136 723856175165 634644652709 644535525982 689076748872 403365303050 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Products are covered by behringer manufacturer's warranty within one year of the original date of purchase from an authorized behringer dealer.

I didn't use a pre-amp for recording with this device and had no problem with input volume. I use reaper and have little experience with audacity, so I don't know if you are already maxing out your volume or not in audacity. I would make sure that your input volume in the software you are using isn't too low before spending money on a pre-amp. The whole point I bought this device is so I didn't have to spend a lot of money on a pre-amp in the first place. **Q: I would like to use this for playing on-line lessons and youtube videos. Will the pc's audio come through the devices headphone jack with the guitars?** A: If you are using a computer and not mobile i personally would much rather spend a a little more and get a $100 focusrite or something audii interface. I bought one and it works great with very little fooling around. I keep my computer audio running through the interface using the included asio driver and I can plug my guitar in just play along no problems. **Q: can i use this as an output for a DAW?** A: Perhaps i'm misunderstading but by output I assume you mean output to speakers/monitors? If so, I dont believe this unit can as it only has input and headphones for ports. Could maybe use headphones as a mono line to speakers. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great on Windows x64 with Proper Setup *by S***E on February 5, 2012* Initially, I wasn't sure which PC-Guitar interface to get and I avoided these things for a few years until the companies started producing 64 bit drivers to allow users to run their products on Windows x64.

Pathetic process. *by B***E on July 19, 2016* If I post a negative review, you can bet it has to be bad. I am the world's most laid back person and this thing has me ready to punch my fist completely through my laptop screen. The unit itself looks great. Installing the driver went less than great. I had to uninstall it twice. Just for the fun of it, and because I really wanted to make this work, I tried it a third time and it installed. Now, the modeling amp from Native Instruments. You know, the very reason you would probably buy this thing to begin with? Well it is absolutely, without question pathetic. I'd like to consider myself a smart guy. I'm an engineer for a wireless company. I'm CCNA certified. I know my way around a computer and loading software. But this POS is just unbelievable. I have NEVER encountered a worse experience loading software. It runs you through about 17 hoops. It says it can't connect to the Internet. My connection is perfect. So you have the export an HTML file after entering your registration code for the main modeling amp software - no problem. Simple process - you'd think. I exported it, clicked on the link in the file, verified my info, and exported the activation file. Then when I went to upload that file back to the "supposededly my problem" non-Internet connected Service Center, it errors out. Oh, and that brings me to another point. You have to install the driver for the device, a Service Center to activate the amp software (which I have yet to even have a glimpse of), the modeling amp software itself, and a flurry of other software. It is the most convoluted, non-working, pathetic process I have EVER seen. And I format, load and troubleshoot Cisco IOS's and config files for a living. This thing is going back. I have wasted no less than 6 hours of time I'll never be able to get back. A company as big as Behringer should have this process down to a science. I'm EXTREMELY disappointed in them. This is an experience I'd expect from some fly-by-night product developer working from a garage.
