Thank you, I just bought this mixer today and needed to connect it to my PC to improve my live stream audio and your description of how to do it has worked perfectly :-)

You're an awesome human being for doing this as clearly and simply as possible. I'm switching over from using a USB mic to an analog mixer --> PC setup and your video literally walked me step by step. Thanks again man.

I can't tell you how much this helped me i always thought having the gain cranked up so high and the volume in windows down so much was wrong you changed my life !!!! thank you

Thank you for the simple but excellent demonstration on Mic > Mixer > Computer connection. Though I am a newbie to audio stuff, your demo is clearly show how to do it step by step.

Great Video! Unlike the ones that gave me headache for not using camera stand. Question though, if I can plug in my mixer to a computer directly, would I still need USB interface to record guitar insturments or mic audio? I was able to do it and sound is still fine.

Mannn. Thank you, sooooo much for doing this video. I've been having so many problems trying to figure out why I wasn't getting an audio signal from my "Tape Outs". Your video helped me figure out that I needed to plug into the Blue "Line in" on the back of my P.C. I was using the Microphone in, and It wasn't working. And, so many of these other videos failed to explain this; which is asinine to me, seeing as we live in a computer age. Not to mention that they are long winded and repeat themselves too much. You're a good teacher. I wish I could pay you to come to my studio. Thanks. Your knowledge has been invaluable!!!

Thanks Matthew, I have a Mackie 402-VLZ3 mixer and I've been trying to figure out how to connect it to my computer. I did download the manual, but it had so much technical jargon, it made me doze off. I just wanted plain and simple English and you did so. I'm good to go now.

What AMS-CSGO said. Are you using a dynamic microphone? If you are using a condenser microphone make sure that you have the 48v phantom power on if that is what it calls for. Is the volume of the mic low when you use the mixer by itself? Like if you use headphones with the mixer? Need a bit more information to answer your question properly.

Hi, watched the video, is there any possibilities to be able to split the sound input to 4 sound input, using 8 inch input?i have the same mixer but mine was the fx 1202, not the usb one q1202, just wondering is there somehow to do that

Great video. I've watched a good few and this is the first one that made sense. A lot of other videos don't go into the laptop(pc) speaker settings which actually make a huge difference to how things sound and to sometimes getting sound full stop. Thanks.

You are the best explaining, go ahead!

Good job. This is all I'm using to make music right now. This would have come in handy but I figured it out on my own. It amazing how much you can do with some basic hardware and one piece of software. I'm a bit in the dark without proper monitors but I'll get those soon.

thank you so much man. you just helped me take my stream to the next lvl

Thanks a lot, it helps to bypass usb connection, and to record something.. ❤️ And how do you listen to your recording, through headphones connected to xenyx?

Very cool, it really helped me and I directly subscribed to this channel. keep going forward

Hello & thanks for all your tutorials. My question is: I recently purchased the Xenyx Q802USB for my home based recording studio. I record music thru my two keyboards on cubase. Does this particular model mixer "with USB interface" suits for multi track recording?? If not, then I also own a bit older audio interface (Alpha Lexicon). Will I get an excellent audio quality & multi track recording on cubase if I first connect my two keyboards to the Behringer & then use Lexicon Alpha as the main audio interface to my pc/DAW (as suggested in one of your videos)? Thanks

Matt, thank you. I'been looking how connect the same mixxer, (behringer 1202 no USB model) with a MacBook Pro, do you know how to do it? Because this macbook has only headphone input. Thanks!

I use to have mines set up the same way till my computer did a update and everything got screwed up I’m going to try what you showed on this video I had forgot the set up with the line in plus settings in computer but I see you mention it here thanks

@cryora

I think it will be roughly the same, because the ADC (analog-digital converter) in the Xenyx USB has a sample rate of 48 kHz. I couldn't find any information on the bit depth however. The ADC on your computer's on-board sound card is likely going to be 48 kHz. If you want to record at a higher sample rate and/or bit depth (like 96 kHz or 192 kHz rather than 48 kHz, and 24-bits rather than 16-bits), you'll need an audio interface. This is sort of the dilemma I am in, because my laptop does not have a line-in port for stereo input, so I'm looking into audio interfaces. To me it's overkill, because the mixer already fulfills a lot of the functions of the audio interface, and the only thing it's missing is a high quality ADC. I may have to do it anyway in the future. As for whether or not 48 kHz is enough, or you need 96 kHz or even 192 kHz is another discussion. For most purposes, it should be enough. If you want very high audio accuracy esp. at the higher frequencies of the human hearing band (like 12 Hz to 20 Hz), which you can look up samples for and hear how they sound, then you may need 96 kHz or higher. On the other hand, sound quality can easily be affected by things like vibrations in your microphone mounting or background noise, so unless you deal with those problems, a move from 48 kHz to 96 kHz might not make a difference. I suppose it's good to future-proof yourself though.

hey man great tutorial and explanation. what about if you have gear other than I microphone? I have an SP 404 and I'm wondering if I can connect that to my Behringer mixer, and where to connect it.

Hi I have a question do you need a audio interface with a m.p.c one and if not can still hook one up to a m.p.c one cause I wanna use the audio interface for my main volume

What if I Want to Connect my Mixer Out to "Line IN " in PC and need to input Music from same PC (Green Out) (to "Stereo IN" in Mixer) Like a Little Karaoke Machine and Record Them in Audacity same PC (Will it Destroy my Mixer or Sound Chips in my Motherboard)

Hey Matt. Thanks for the video. What you are doing seems very straight forward but I'll be damned if I can get it to work at my end. I'm using a Behringer Eurorack UB1204FX-pro. I've got the audio side set up and the green light levels are touching zero. I've run a cable connecting the tape out phillips jacks to the computer inputs trying both front and back, and line-in and mic jacks but no luck. I've opened up my Win10 sound controls. It shows a device plugged in but no bouncing bars in it. I am familiar with this and have used Audacity for years. That doesn't mean i know everything though. Its an old mixer so I'm not sure if it's 100% functional. Thoughts??

Very beautiful video. Very explanatory.

Thanks bro this content is very helpful 👍 so today im gonna try this with my mixer and pc.

Unfortunately I have a laptop and it doesn't have a line in port, and neither does its docking station, only a microphone in port, and that is mono. So I am going to try and solve this by getting an external usb sound card with a line in to act as an analogy-digital converter. I can only find sound cards that record at 48 kHz max, however. It would be nice to have something that can also record at 96 kHz. Does the USB version of the Behringer Xenyx series have a 96 kHz option or even 192 kHz? I'm afraid I may need to get another audio interface in order to get 96 kHz.

My mixers lights turn on when i adjust the gain but on my PC itself i dont get any noise from the mic? on discord i can here myself but its so quite that its basically impossible to hear
