One more quick question FileSpnr, since it seems you know about this stuff. How do the plugs work from the back U-Control? I know this is probably a really dumb question, but I am new to this. There is the input and output, do they plug into the back of the speakers &/or the computer? The reason I ask is because I have a Logitech sound system. It does not have any input or output ports in the back. It has 1 cord that goes straight into the computer.

If I do have to plug this into the back of the speakers, I will look into getting a new sound set up & then buying this.

That’s actually a common question.
Are the speakers that you have connected to the computer with USB? Or do they plug into the headphone port?
If they are USB, then the computer will think of them as an audio interface, same as the uca202. If this is the case, then yea you will not be able to use them with the uca202.(although it is possible in some instances to use multiple interfaces, let’s assume that may be asking a bit much for your situation right now)
If the speakers plug into the headphone out, you only need a “Y-cable” & a ” barrel” connector. Y-cables are about $7 @ radio shack, the barrel connector connects the two cables; the cable from your speakers & the Y-cable, which connects to the uca202 with the RCA end.
This is a y-cable

Random question is this how your set up/most sets ups are now a days for people using computers?

Thanks again. I don’t feel lost anymore 🙂

Yep, pretty much, with varying degrees of complexity
So, you do know about ASIO4ALL right? This is a free driver, and it’s really good. You can use right away. You would still need the interface for pre-listening and cueing, but you could at least get a better control from the disco. Are you using cross, in the settings does it say wasapi?

Run it, then go into settings and choose asio4all
You can also try the demo of Traktor pro

Here is a TSI for the discover DJ

Go into Traktor pro settings and click import, and select the TSI I made
Then set the midi device to discover DJ

You should use asio4all with Traktor pro, also.
Asio4all is like turning your on-board sound device into pro quality
