Behringer C1, XENYX 1202FX, FCA202 Reviews

Finally, after some time I dream, I can buy the tools and stuff that I need to make a simple home recording. Of course, armed only with simple products from Behringer at a price that can only be purchased with the results of some of my savings this year.

For the mic, I use a condensor mic C-1. Surely a condensor mic that requires phantom power can be used. But with the 1202FX XENYX mixer, mic C-1 can be directly plugged in and used as a mixer has been equipped with its own preamp and phantom power. Thus no longer need to buy a preamp and phantom power or separately to be able to use this mic.

For recording, certainly not enough to rely solely on the mainboard simple soundcard of a PC. Because it would need an audio interface. And in this case, I rely FCA202 as a bridge between the mixer and my computer. It's just that for me was less than the audio interface is not the availability of drivers for Windows 64-bit. Premises so that forced me to invite my computer to do a dual boot ambiguous in order to play with Windows 32-bit.



Here are some advantages and disadvantages that I see from the tools of my simple home recording:
