channel I'm Radio Zane and in this video we're going to be going over
step-by-step the behringer UMC 22 driver setup in Windows 10 plus stick around
too near the end as I have an important tip that you should know before
recording with it you should also note that this driver should work on Windows
7 and 8 I just have Windows 10 on this system so that's what I'm showing you on
so let's jump in first download the driver from the link you'll then want to
extract the zip file go into the folder then go into this folder and double
click on the setup choose your language here click OK then click install driver
it will ask you to plug in your audio interface if you don't have it plugged
in already do that now and it will complete the installation
now it's going to tell you that you need to reboot your computer for it to work
so go ahead and do that all right so I've restarted my computer
and now what we want to do is set it up in your DAW and access the control panel
for this video I'm using the great free da tracktion t7 I have a playlist of
videos about tracktion t7 if you're interested I'll link to them in the
description and you can check those out later but you don't need tracktion t7 to
do this you should be able to do this within most DAWs you just want to go to
your settings and your audio devices you want to make sure that the device type
or driver type is set to asio then you want to make sure that the behringer USB
audio is selected as it is here and then you can go to control panel and this
brings up the behringer USB driver control panel and from here click on
ASIO and you'll now see that we have a system performance tab here this is
where you change the latency now you may say well why don't I just choose the
highest speed one well that's because your audio interface and your computer
may not be able to handle the highest speed what you want to do is find that
happy medium between system performance and latency so I suggest trying fast see
how that is if it works go up to the next one and the next one until you
figure out which one works best for you now if you have a project that's full of
tracks and MIDI instruments and all kinds of things you may start to notice
some pops and clicks so what you'll want to do is relax it a bit and you can go
down here as long as everything's already recorded and you're just doing
some editing and mastering it shouldn't really matter that you've said it to
relax just experiment with what works best for
you and when you're ready you click close and now you can go record
something if you'd like to see how to get zero latency in tracktion t7 without
installing anything extra or any additional hardware I actually did a
video on that and I'll link to that in the description below the behringer UMC
22 USB audio interface is a decent budget priced audio interface in this
price range you won't find anything better and this driver takes it up a
notch just a bit if you're using this for YouTube videos
streaming or recording music you should be happy with the quality and the price
which brings me to a question for you what type of content will you be
creating with this audio interface let me know in the comments below and now
for that important tip that I told you about when you install this driver you
need to make sure that you record or stream to a mono track that's because a
guitar cable or a mic cable is a mono source if you try to record or stream
into a stereo track you may get just the left side only I've done a couple of
videos on how to do this in OBS studio and in audacity it's very easy to do a
link to those videos in the description so you can check them out thank you so
