This is such a compact and easy to use Audio Interface. The line in option is the best feature as it removes all grounding background noise. So the sound quality is perfect for recording your vinyl. Well worth the money a complete bargain.
When I finally managed to persuade Microsoft that it is a stereo device it was very easy to set up and use. Capturing from cassette and MiniDisc sound quality is fine. Using it to produce line output from USB the sound quality is not great. Service from Music Store was very good. The product arrived promptly. When I thought it was faulty (which it wasn't, it was my failure to negotiate Microsoft's settings despite working in IT for 50 years), they were quite happy to accept a return and sent me the return labels. I recommend Music Store and the equipment for the purpose I needed it.
The download link on the Behringer website is for an old, out of date version of Audacity. Once I had discovered this and downloaded a newer version it worked fine
Using this to transfer vinyl to digital via Audacity. So far it has worked perfectly, very neat and straightforward. The only problem is registering the product with Behringer.com, as per the instruction manual, as the Music Store registration will not accept my email address. So no warranty but I suppose it's a cheap product so it doesn't matter?
