In addition to the audio interface, there was some pretty decent VSTs and other software included.

Suitable free software is readily available all over the web

I have not used the free software that came with it, nor have I tried to record with it.

My old XP machine allowed me to use my Amazing Slow Downer rehearsal software.

I also, did not receive the "software bundle" they promised either, and I read another reviewer say the same

The other laughable item is the alleged "massive software bundle"

Software is TOO complex to use for the casual user

Audacity, however is the perfect software to pair with this module

The free software is a nice touch though but useless if your not into making music/home recording.

Software is garbage that you can download off of the internet for free - Major Rip-Off!!!!!!

The software is easy as pie, and all you need

Some other things you might want to get is a cable/splitter for connecting between the headphone jack of your stereo and the RCA jacks of the device, and free Audacity recording software which you can download from the Internet.

Incidentally, the disc of free software went right into my trash, because for my recording and audio editing work I use Goldwave--shareware, but very sophisticated.

I followed all of the instructions but i can't get the "Lame" software to work right to convert the wav files to mp3

I know the software that came with the UCA is entirely free/open

Wires everywhere to make the connections, and the software is pretty unfriendly

The software is a nice bonus, as having used Audacity before and finding it cumbersome at best, it is good to have options

The software is not that great

But you can download some software from Behringer's site; this software may or may not work with your computer but this really does not matter

- I already had my own recording software (Audio Hijack Pro) which has worked wonderfully with this device.

I opened my preferred recording software(Audio hijack Pro) and selected the USB as my source and instantly had audio coming in there as well

Again on the assumption that Behringer is paying the free software developers for distribution rights, I'm not going to go ahead and write up a list of the exact VSTs and other software that is included (as I initially intended to do)

Works well but the software available on line is not user friendly.

I don't really need or want the free software, but if you do, then this is the better choice of the two.

-Nice matching red led to let you know the unit is powered on-Gold plated rca inputs & outputs-Great instructions & packaging-A lot of free audio software (available for download from Behringer's website) when you purchase the interfaceCons-None*WOULD LOVE TO SEE ANOTHER VERSION OF THIS EXACT

But I hope at the very least that Behringer has arranged some sort of profit-sharing deal with the many hobbyist, semi-pro, and struggling pro software developers that made this stuff

The software is available as a download on the Behringer web site, just FYI.I'm very happy with my purchase of the UCA222 and I am really enjoying my lossless audio files routed through this DAC and passed on to my headphones

Audacity is great recording software

I've seen a couple of other reviewers also missing their software

If you want a good multi track recording software, you will need to purchase that separately.

Haven't try the free software...

Suitable free software is readily available all over the web

I am finding that the free software is not the software I would want to use

When I went to website to download the "free" software it's actually Audacity 1.25

I/O is concerned.

This is rather embarrassing as I've now owned my unit for quite a few years

Works as it intended to no complaints.

Works as it say it would
