This was helpful , as intended. My Behringer UB2222 is quite a bit larger , but as I am learning , mixing boards appear more complex because they are larger. But they are simply multiples of the smaller ones. Thank you

as others have found, I had a basic misunderstanding of where the two track input could be routed to on this mixer - thanks for explaining it so clearly

[@scifithoughts3611]

This board has so much functionality. I love the board. Learning to use it is hard. I've had this board for two years and decided I wanted to tackle learning how to send audio to the mixer and thought I could use the track/USB. Now I know that's wrong. Thank you!

I looked all over for a couple days after buying the x1222USB and could not figure out how to mix the CD music input. I was using the analogue jacks with no luck like you did. The manual is as clear as mud on this topic and other videos don't cover it. Your video explained it simply which jack to use. Why doesn't the company "Draw you a Map" of something so many want to do? Thanks so much for taking the time to cover this.

[@KevinNearyMusic]

HI, PLEASE HELP!! I have this arrangement for my new looper setup: A boss Rc-300 pedal station and Behringer X1204USB. I have all the instruments in the separate channels, and then everything on the desk can be recorded onto my Boss RC-300 looper pedal station. Next issue that I'm stuck on is how to feedback my looper station back into the desk, without creating a feedback loop (where every time I'm recording a loop on the looper pedal station, it records the looper playback as well as the new phrase I'm playing, continuously layering up the looper playback on top of itself, until it has feedback)... I've figured out that, using the 2-track/USB input with an RCA cable coming from the output of the looper pedal station, I can hear the looper playback and record on top of it without creating looper feedback.. but when I record from my desk to Protools on my laptop, as you said, I can only hear what I'm playing, not the looper playback. I have a feeling, instead of running from the output of the looper pedal station to the 2 track/USB input, I have to run it into the Stereo aux returns L and R (to the left of the 2 track input)... the thing is, I think this will create the looper feedback issue again... Is there anyway at all to have the 2 track picked up on my recording software at all!? Or is there any arrangement I can have with this board where the looper playback can be recorded to my laptop, as well as heard, without creating the looper feedback. Thanks!

[@morsteen]

So that built in RCA connection seems like it's really just for a quick hook up scenario where you need something just to play in a live setting for people to hear.

The way I have it setup is I’ve got my Steinburg interface outputs going into the rca 2 track input then my control room going back into the inputs of my steinburg input for recording and left right guitar and vocal going into the mixer inputs 1 to 4 from my voicelive 3 extreme my main mix outputs go to my 2 jbl eon one pro speakers the monitor out puts on them go to my control room speakers it’s just one big loop that connects everything into the laptop for live gigging with backing tracks and recording and my left right inputs on the mixer 7/8 is where my td25kv drum kit connects into it and 5/6 has my akai mpk261 keyboard attached in the only USB Connection I use on the system is from my steinburg interface as it is noiseless compared to the mixer as the behringer has a humming hiss and by doing it this way everything talks to each other through midi as it has midi in and out on the back of the steinburg interface.

[@TonyHob]

That’s a great way to do it. I also found the 2 track outputs to be noisy. On my smaller 802 I do the same by connecting the control room out to the interface input. On this one I just use the USB but my setup is much simpler than yours since I really just use it for karaoke and DJ’ing. Awesome setup!

you can do it through the playback settings on your software. Set it to USB interface. Or through your computer's headphone jack connected to one of the channels on the mixer.

Very good tutorial 👌 may I know if the other connection that you made is it possible to connect to a phones slot with my karaoke machine as my source of music ?karaoke machine comes with built in mic and speaker source already. The white and red on top right I connected to my android phone as my recorder and the left red white I connect it on my karaoke machine phones slot, it works but the sound quality was not that really good. Maybe I can try the other option that you did on the other line just you did. Hope you get my point .thanks

[@TonyHob]

If I am understanding correctly you are trying to use the mixer only for recording? If you plug the karaoke's machine headphone out into one of the channels on the mixer (instead of the RCA in) and your phone to the mixer's RCA out you should get better sound quality in theory. I have never tried it this way though.

[@rob4290]

If we can control the input audio from its source (like connecting a PC to 2 track - or even a phone like you did), is it just the lack of control on the board itself that makes it so that you wouldn't use it in your mix? Based on your explanation it sounds like we could send the 2 track into the main mix (using the specified button) alongside everything else and have it all work and output together no?

[@TonyHob]

You can send it to the main mix, you just can’t record it

[@Hakucho64]

@@TonyHob that doesn't make sense to me, doesn't everything in the main mix get recorded? How would the recorder know what sounds came from the 2-track versus what sounds came from the other inputs? Isn't that what mixing means, that the signals are mixed together?

Thanks a lot for sharing this. Just to be sure to understand, I just bought an analog reel to reel tape recorder, I intend to record my music from the computer to the tape recorder. If I route the 2-track rca output to the input of the tape machine I should have the sound from the computer right? Because it seems that no sound is coming out, I currently use the control room out put to get in the tape machine. Thanks in advance for your help.

The RCA should be sending sound from the mixer to your recorder. Make sure you press the 2 track select button.

[@TonyHob]

You should be able to hear it through the phones by pressing the red USB/ 2track button in and the others should be out as shown at 8:06. If that's not working there might be something wrong with the mixer

If I needed to add a DJ mixer to this, how would I go about doing that?

[@prodigalus]

your DJ mixer's stereo output can go into any one of those channels on this Xenyx mixer. or did you already get it setup? and also, was that your actual question? or did you mean how could you add your DJ mixer via USB? because this mixer in the video has 1 USB input. if it were setup that way, it would have to output audio via stereo out for recording.

[@djcarvas]

Hello. Sorry my english. For example, if one channel is with his fader on max playing music, can you listen previously other music in another channel befor mixing?

[@TonyHob]

yes, but the music would need to be connected to the input on the 2-track RCA, then you can listen to it on the headphones with the 2-track selected.

[@djcarvas]

Finally i find the word, is it possible to cue? Whats the SOLO botton?

It does a similar thing by isolating that channel so you can listen to it and adjust the volume separately by looking at the gain lights of just that channel, also known as clip. So yes

You can definitely use it as an interface. Your problem is probably in your software settings. Make sure your DAW is set to USB codec in and out.

I'm using the 2-track RCA input to bring the audio into the mixer. I don't want it to be in the main mix. However, I need it to be heard in the headphones. The problem is that I cannot hear the 2-track AND the microphone at the same time. Is this normal? Is there a workaround?

[@Zveki]

In other words - microphone is being cut off for the control room/headphones, when the 2-track to control room is pressed/switched on.

You can not listen to the mix through the 2 track headphone. Only what is connected to the 2 track. In your case, only the music.

Thank you for this video. What a strange choice on Behringer's part to assume you wouldn't ever want to input something to Main via USB or RCA and simultaneously send it and everything else back out via USB or to your recorder via RCA. As soon as I press "2-TR/USB to Main", those go to the main mix out of XLR, but my USB main mix is silent which seems... useless. Do you know if the Yamaha MG-XU series mixers suffer from this limitation? They have RCA inputs on Line 9/10 and USB on 11/12, each with their own discrete volume controls, so it seems like they view the role of RCA and USB input differently.

Please help. :) I am trying to get the signal inside Ableton, but there is no signal even coming to Mac that can be seen or heard.

Hello, can you connect a technics sh-ge70 equalizer to this mixer? Thanks and great video 👌

[@TonyHob]

You would connect the equalizer to the receiver, not the mixer

I have a question about the output on the 2 track/usb. How do i adjust the volume on the output? Is this not possible? Thanks for your help!

[@TonyHob]

You can not control the out individually. You can control it through the recorder itself (analog or software). What are you connecting the out to?

I dont have a band ,im making only dance music,i bought this thing but i also have a focusrite and 2 other behringer interfaces,i bought this thing cause of the compressors and the eq,maybe in future for partys

What could be the reason that my phone connected via line in 5 does not send via USB into my DAW?

[@TonyHob]

Could be the actual adapter cable. Try connecting the phone to a receiver’s or powered speaker’s aux port to see if it works.

[@tobiaswinter1358]

@@TonyHob It does play the music via my headphones, but it's not in my DAW, only the drum mics, but not the song I'm playing to.

[@trinhk]

Thank you. That’s very helpful. Any idea how I could change the key/pitch of a karaoke track?

[@dtatge1]

It's difficult to do that and make it sound decent if you're working with just two tracks of audio--BUT if you get a midi version of the song you can transpose it to any key in like 5 seconds

could we use the 5/6 or 7/8 channel for extra microphone?

[@TonyHob]

Yes

[@ilhamifadhly]

@@TonyHob but where can we adjust gain or volume for that channel?

No gain control but each channel has volume. You would use a 1/4 TR connector on the mono input for that channel. You might not be able to raise the volume as high though

[@fullmetal7695able]

congratulations for the video. I own your own mixer and since I'm Italian and I can't understand all your speech in English, I kindly ask you one thing. I don' t understand what connections do i have to make to register with headphones while singing on a music base imported from pc or phone? I currently have the il.mixer connected to the pc via usb cable, so in this way I should take advantage of the sound card inside the mixer, right? but what other connections do I have to make and what settings? thanks

[@TonyHob]

Connect your headphones to the "phones" jack and press down the "main mix" square button beside the white "phones/ctrl rm" volume knob. You should be able to hear through the headphone then and control the headphone volume through the white knob. Let me know if it worked. By the way, I am trying to learn Italian listening to Laura Paussini and Eros Ramazzoti. I speak Spanish so it I am getting better.

[@fullmetal7695able]

@@TonyHob First of all thanks for your answer. I love eros Ramazzotti, a great artist. the important thing i want to know is what exactly i need to do on the mixer to be able to record a musical tracking plus voice with audacity. if you can kindly explain to me better the connection of the rca connectors and when to press the red button tr usb to record. also I see that you start the audio from your mobile phone and not from your pc. thanks

[@TonyHob]

The RCA does not record well. Just use the USB to the computer and choose that input and output on Audacity. You do not need additional cables and do not use the RCA. It should work just like in the video

[@TonyHob]

I might make another video explaining how to use the USB with Audacity to record this weekend

You might want to watch this video again. Like I say in the video, the RCA out is not designed to be an out for the mix but meant for a 2 track recorder. You need to use the main or monitor outs to the speakers

Hello. I purchased Behringer 1204USB and want to convert my cassettes using Audacity. Please show me the setup. I have a cassette player with USB for flash driver and also 3.5 jack for headphone. Please show me the setup for use with Audacity. I don't have speakers hooked up to my receiver. Not sure if that matters.

[@mirwaisadalat4112]

Obviously that was not the only reason I purchased the 1204 but want to use the interface

[@TonyHob]

@@mirwaisadalat4112 The best way to do it (for the best quality) is to connect the cassette player's RCA out into one of the mixer's channels via 1/4" TR connectors and use the USB interface into the computer to record into Audacity. The cable would be like this: amzn.to/3fWXXZK

[@mirwaisadalat4112]

Tony's Hobbies hi tony. I have the headphone connection on the cassette player and I assume it should work. What about the setting on the PC side?

[@TonyHob]

@@mirwaisadalat4112 the headphone connection will work but you still have to connect it to a channel on the mixer using 1/4" connections, NOT to the RCA 2-track input on the mixer. On Audacity you just choose the USB as the input on the source menu.

Hi Tony! Would this record the sound from my laptop doing it this way? As i am wanting to podcast through zoom, also what are the name of the leads that help record, many thanks

[@TonyHob]

Ricky Dunlop You can do it this way by connecting the laptop to one of the mixer’s channels (a 3.5mm to dual 1/4 TS cable from the headphone jack to one channel ) and using an external recorder connected to the RCA 2-track output on the mixer.

If you use the rca tracks you can only record to an analog recorder such as tape or CD. If you are connecting to a computer through USB then make sure you set the input on audacity to usb codec
