This version of GB does seem a lot more adapted to the kinds of digital studio mastering and recording screens I'm used to seeing in similar software. The setup looks far more complicated than it is.įinally had a chance this morning to go through your posted set of instructions. OK, I finally had a chance to test mine and got it working in GarageBand in Yosemite. These are pieces that I recorded many years ago on analog cassette using my electric nylon (Gibson Chet Atkins) guitar (mostly). (And it's free, so, hard to beat! )įor interest/discussion purposes I thought I would add a few converted sound files here to let you hear the preliminary results.
Garageband 10.0.3 monitor pro#
Although I wasn't familiar with Audacity, it seems to be a nice program, and not unlike Pro Tools, so I've been able to navigate it sufficiently well enough to convert a few files. I downloaded Audacity and it's up and running. My workaround was to use my old iMac running an older OS X version.
But, I'm not that familiar with Garage Band, so perhaps there is a way to use it for this purpose. Thought that I could use Garage Band instead as a music editing program, but couldn't get it to work or recognize the Behringer UFO202 unit as an Audio USB Codec (which is necessary, if I understand how it works correctly). Unfortunately, the latest Audacity release is not yet compatible with Yosemite (OS X 10.10), which is the OS on my current Apple laptop. The default program that Behringer recommends is the freeware program Audacity, which can be downloaded from their site. As discussed, it's a piece of hardware that requires a music editing program to capture and "massage" the digitized sound file.

Seems to work fine, thought I'd share some initial findings which you can feel free to add to and/or correct: Received the unit at the beginning of the week and have been trying it out.
Is this product as good as advertized or am I perhaps missing something?Īppreciate any help or guidance on this. (a lot of my original recordings have some tape hiss that I would love to get rid of if possible). Behringer also claims to provide noise reduction capabilities for it, and additional software. it has Tape IN (and OUT) jacks to connect to my cassette player, and the USB connection (USB 1.1) to load the digitized files into the Mac. I would be using a recent MacBook Pro as the host computer, and was thinking this thing might just work, i.e. I just came across a very economical device from Behringer called UFO202, which seems from the specs to do exactly that, but at only $30. When I started recording years ago I was using a Tascam Porta 2 4 track cassette recorder, so I have many old cassettes with recordings that I would love to digitize and move over to CD for preservation and listening enjoyment. Asking assistance from anyone familiar with this Behringer product.
