For years now i have been using the behringer ucg102 usb interface into my windows XP tower PC but now i have got rid of that and are using a windows 10 laptop and of course the interface wont work on windows 10! Grrrrr. Does anyone know of a cheap interface i can use thats similar to the Behringer? i liked that because it was portable and self powering.

Cheers
Neil

It's how everything is designed these days, I've had to buy another keyboard because my new computer and Logic Pro X wouldn't talk to it :|

FYI. If your not already using it -- you need to install "asio4all".

I am using this with win10

The behringer driver does not work.

Good luck

ASIO4ALL Don't work with it theres a massive delay when playing (latency the word? )

Hi Neil,

In the last 18 months I have become a real fan of the Focusrite audio interfaces, they have good driver support and come with some really useful software, this one may be worth looking at:

I now use the Focusrite Claret 2 Pre USB and can honestly say that it more than betters my previous one, which cost almost twice as much!

Regards

Gary

I use it at the Shadows Club with Cakewalk Sonar Pro - no problems. I use it on the Laptop and at home on my Desktop.
I think there is latency issues when using Audacity - just about to try it.

I have just tried the UCG102 with Asio4all. I monitored whilst recording - no latency so I was able to play ok.
The actual track recorded probably needed to be adjusted to account for the actual recorded track latency which is normal for Audacity.
I don't use Audacity normally.

I also double checked it with my Cakewalk Sonar - all ok.

In order to get it to work with Audacity I had a bit of a fight with the built in mic on the laptop. Had to disable it????

Good luck
