Hi, I just got a Xenyx 1622USB and I can't get it to work with the USB. I can get it to work through my head/cabinet but just not the USB. Just wondering if you can help me out. I have a iMac OS X 10.7.2 and I'm using GarageBand'11 . When I do plug the USB in, it is being recognized by the computer...I'm just not able to get it to record through the computer.
Hi, i am planning on buying a Behringer XENYX USB Mixer. Is the USB function in the mixer capable of only sending a stereo output via USB to the computer or can it also receive a stereo input from the computer for playback during recording. Because here you connect the monitors to the 3.5mm socket output of the computer.
take note you all this the right way butt if you cheep about saving money than your music will i know i was like this 5 years than said hell with it one day and started spending than the recording sound more pro
Hi, I was looking into buying a USB Beringher desk. I would be using it to record using logic pro 8. Just wanted to check that the USB would allow me to record each separate channel on the mixer onto it's own unique track on Logic, allowing me to mix everything separately on the computer...?
@1234fando Unfortunately our USB mixers output a stereo mix and not individual tracks --more suited to overdubbing than recording a live band.
If you need output of discrete tracks, you'll need a multitrack recorder OR a Firewire interface. We don't QUITE have what you're looking for yet, but when the UFX1604 and the X32 debut in 2012, you may find them very interesting.
Quick question, can you record onto different channels within the software, for instance, a kick drum in channel one, a snare in channel 2 etc? thanks!
@h4rrycl4rk The USB is set up to deliver a stereo mix of what's happening in the mixer. It's great for overdubs, but not so much if you want to multi-track an entire live band.
@DinomicaRecordz If you can't find the USB RECORDING PACK at your favorite online retailer, you might be able to contact them directly to special order it. If you're looking to purchase Ryan, we can't really help you with that. :)
the behringer 1204fx usb mixer... it has 12 inputs, but how many recording enabled outputs does it have.. how many tracks/channels can be recorded at once?
Hello ... I need some help ... I bought BEHRINGER XENYX 802 mixer and added another with BEHRINGER U-CONTROL UCA 222 ... The problem is as follows ... I was told that the store CD / tape input and output all comes about all the U-CONTROL ... But my question is why can not record anything?
I have a question not strictly related to the recording pack, but does the USB record in stereo, or as many channels as you have inputs? For example, could I record 2 guitars and a bass simultaneously on to individual tracks?
Hi people at behringer, Im at the same situation, I wanted to buy this recording pack at bestbuy.com but it disappeared. I want to know if you are gonna put it back on the market, I hope you do!
what happened to this product? can't find it in bestbuy anymore...It was on sale 2 weeks ago and suddenly it disappeared in the bestbuy site..what could possibly happened? Sold out?
I really want to buy this! Im new to this way of recording (before I used Digital Recorders) Will this mixer support SONAR 8 or Pro Tools? I plan on Upgrading everything eventually, I just like how it gives you pretty much everything but an interface

Comprei uma mesa de som Behringer 1622 usb 12 canais com efeitos. Liguei a mesa tudo certinho. O violão vai para a caixa e o microfone também. Só que quando aciono os efeitos nada acontece. O que estou fazendo de errado ou não estou fazendo? Algo falta conectar ou preciso de outro equipamento, tipo caixa amplificadora?

There are many acceptable methods to micing drums, largely dependant on how many mics you have. Generally speaking, you will want to close-mic every drum and route each to an individual channel, and use 2 mics over the kit to capture the cymbals in a stereo pattern. There are lots of drum micing tips here on YT, search around!
@DanofromMars The channel from which your outputs are coming in to the monitors, check to see if any of the pre or mute main buttons are pressed in the down position. If that doesn't work visit our main website and go to support, we'll help you over the phone if need be.
@ApostleEG Hi! There are likely many acceptable setups depending on what you would like to do. It's difficult to guide you through the setup via YouTube commenting, however. Please contact us via the "Support" tab on our website or over on Facebook and we'll help you out! Thanks!
@tsusukicompany Hi! You can still mix a live performance without the computer, but a computer or other recording device will be necessary to record the performance as there is no recording medium or hard drive in the mixer. Hope that answers your question!

@ValFuentes Troubleshooting audio paths can be tricky, best to contact tech support. YouTube won't let us post links in comments so I will e-mail you the contact info directly! Cheers!
I love this mixer! One question. How would I record vocals in the same room my monitors are in? I don't wanna keep turning on and off the monitors. My monitors are connected via ctrl room out. Thanks
@lyricalgza If you don't want to be constantly switching the monitors off/on, I would recommend this: use the Main Mix outputs for your monitors, and then route Alt 3-4 to the headphone/control room. When you want to record vocals, press the "Mute - Alt3/4" button on the tracks you want, and they will be sent to your headphones instead of the monitors. No more feedback problems!
I quess my question is, what mixer would be the best to use for recording with a software? Would all you mixer sound the same (I guess the sound quality would come from the software itself)? Would something like XENYX 1204USB be good?
@MrMutron Your choice of mixer isn't about sound quality so much as inputs count. Consider how many microphones you will be running at once and choose your mixer accordingly. The 1204USB is a great choice, and is the mixer featured in the above video. Regarding audio quality: it will mainly be determined by the quality of the instruments you are recording, the quality of the mics you are using to record them, and smart microphone placement.
@MrMutron Depending on the drum set, yes. Kick, Snare, Hat, and 2 Toms would be 5 mics. Some people like to have 2 overhead mics for cymbals as well. Drums eat up microphone channels very quickly! :D
@behringer Understood. I was thinking...Snare, Bass, Two overheads, and maybe one for floor toms / room mic. Also, would you suggest using a B1, B2, Or C1 as Over heads? Or using a small diaphram? I want a warm natural vintage sound.
@behringer Would you recommend using a Shock Mount on the Condenser when recording? (I thought you have to). What about a Pop Filter? Also, is there a difference In Sound between this Condenser and USB version condenser? Would you recomend recording with the USB condenser or the way you do it here?
@MrMutron While none of your above suggestions are required, they are all good ideas. Pop screens are really only necessary for vocals. The sonic signature of the standard C-1 and the C-1 USB are identical, though the standard C-1's signal will be gently colored by whatever pre-amp you run it through, just like any other condenser mic. I recommend using the mic that works best for your workflow your budget! Are you setting up a home studio?
would i be able to have a karaoke version of a certain song on my computer and sing along to it into the mic and will it pick everything up clearly so it sounds professional ?? if you know what i mean :/
@aliciah10 I think I understand, and the answer is yes! You would simply play your Karaoke track in software like Audacity, (which is part of this package) and record your vocals right along with it! You will want to listen on headphones while recording instead of through your speakers, to avoid feedback going into your microphone. Cheers!
If I plug 4 condenser mics into this will I be able to record drums, well I mean will the mixer be able to pick up all the sound going into the four mics and record them?
@pedestrianharmright Yep! That's the idea! However, I'd strongly recommend using dynamic mics instead of condenser mics when close-micing drums. Most condenser mics aren't designed to handle the high SPLs associated with close-micing loud instruments like drums and guitar amps. A condenser mic would be OK for drum overheads or a distant room mic. Thanks for checking in!
I JUST RECIEVED THIS. GOT IT ALL CONNECTED. NOW HOW DO I GET SOUND OUT OF MY SPEAKERS(MONITORS). I SEE THE LIGHTS LIGHT UP, BUT CAN'T HEAR NOTHING. AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG? I'M NEW AT THIS SO DONT' KNOW. I WANT TO PLAY MY FLUTE(s) AND RECORD SOME TUNES. I JUST DO NOT HEAR ANYTHING,BUT SEE ALL LIGHTS WORKING. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
since the ADA8000 have ADAT in/out, can i double stack them or it has to depends on how many inputs that my ADAT input can support? in this case, I am using EMU1212.
@mp3sucker That will depend on the ADAT model. Check with the nice folks at EMU and find out, you're welcome to check in with our tech support team as well!
@ThePat527 - Hey! This package is a Best Buy Exclusive. Unfortunately they do not ship to Australia. :( If you want to buy the individual components, they should all be available in your region. Get the MS20 Monitor Speakers, the 1204USB mixer, and the C-1 Condenser mic, and you've got the entire package!
so im trying to record t hrough windows xp and adobe auditon. I have everything set up...(microphone detecting, being played back through my head phones and my speakers ect ect....ANNND the audio from my computer to play through my mixer speakers) but i cant get my program (adobe audition) to detect my microphone input. Email me with a solution
sttmnm@aol.com
(and yes i have set up the xenyx usb software package and asio driver)
This is far from a perfect setup. I'd say you NEVER want to use a laptops' crummy soundcard for monitoring USB input. And you also will want better speakers. The Behringer MS20's are a far better choice and allow you to monitor the mixer directly. Connect a (small) mixer through the UCA-222 by Behringer, plug the monitor out into the 'monitor' speakers, and record using USB in/out (no latency!). The setup you show her will have latency problems, no doubt about that!
Behringer, how do you set this up so that when you are overdubbing you can here what you are playing and hear the previously recorded tracks while recording?
Great gear, I have the 1204USB and it's great, but there's one important drawback to note: there's seemingly no way, neither through the USB interface, or combination of audio cables, to actually RECORD more than one stereo track simultaneously, so it only records basically what you'd HEAR from the combined channels on the mixer (I figured it was a given assumption, given that it's software/USB oriented, that it would be able to record each channel to a unique track in my DAW, but was wrong)
If you're using the headphone jack of your computer for output but the mixer for input, is it safe to assume that the mixer doesn't have ASIO drivers for Windows? Otherwise wouldn't you have to use the outputs on the mixer and use it as your output as well?
cool vid... it looks prety simple... i have just 2 questions... can i use any software to record with the mixer or just with the one that comes with it? can i record separated channels or just direct out?
@caesirian You can use any software you like to record the mixer's output. The USB connection on the mixer is a stereo out, not discrete channel outs.
@behringer thanks, one more thing... can i use this mixer plus the uca-202 plus any u-control with audio interface and record multiple inputs? it looks like a silly question but i'm new in this thing...
HAHAHAH! I rofl at the end :D

Most condenser mics aren't designed to handle the high SPLs associated with close-micing loud instruments like drums and guitar amps. A condenser mic would be OK for drum overheads or a distant room mic. Thanks for checking in!

When using USB connections on recording, will the pc/mac detect the inputs as separate inputs?
I mean, can I record 4 separate different track simultaneously ?

@mp3sucker Unfortunately, no. There is a single USB connection, which is a master stereo audio output.

Well.. then, if i have adat input.. i can use ADA8000 for the same purpose as above? (separate track recording)
mp3sucker 1 year ago
@mp3sucker Yes, exactly!
behringer 11 months ago
@behringer Thank you so much.
since the ADA8000 have ADAT in/out, can i double stack them or it has to depends on how many inputs that my ADAT input can support? in this case, I am using EMU1212.
mp3sucker 11 months ago
@mp3sucker That will depend on the ADAT model. Check with the nice folks at EMU and find out, you're welcome to check in with our tech support team as well!

ThePat527 1 year ago
@ThePat527 - Hey! This package is a Best Buy Exclusive. Unfortunately they do not ship to Australia. :( If you want to buy the individual components, they should all be available in your region. Get the MS20 Monitor Speakers, the 1204USB mixer, and the C-1 Condenser mic, and you've got the entire package!

This is far from a perfect setup. I'd say you NEVER want to use a laptops' crummy soundcard for monitoring USB input. And you also will want better speakers. The Behringer MS20's are a far better choice and allow you to monitor the mixer directly. Connect a (small) mixer through the UCA-222 by Behringer, plug the monitor out into the 'monitor' speakers, and record using USB in/out (no latency!). The setup you show her will have latency problems, no doubt about that!

multi track recording ?

Behringer, how do you set this up so that when you are overdubbing you can here what you are playing and hear the previously recorded tracks while recording?

Great gear, I have the 1204USB and it's great, but there's one important drawback to note: there's seemingly no way, neither through the USB interface, or combination of audio cables, to actually RECORD more than one stereo track simultaneously, so it only records basically what you'd HEAR from the combined channels on the mixer (I figured it was a given assumption, given that it's software/USB oriented, that it would be able to record each channel to a unique track in my DAW, but was wrong)

If you're using the headphone jack of your computer for output but the mixer for input, is it safe to assume that the mixer doesn't have ASIO drivers for Windows? Otherwise wouldn't you have to use the outputs on the mixer and use it as your output as well?
AllysDad2008 1 year ago
@AllysDad2008 The mixer doesn't require drivers, it features a standard USB connection. Plug-and-play!

cool vid... it looks prety simple... i have just 2 questions... can i use any software to record with the mixer or just with the one that comes with it? can i record separated channels or just direct out?
caesirian 1 year ago
@caesirian You can use any software you like to record the mixer's output. The USB connection on the mixer is a stereo out, not discrete channel outs.
behringer 1 year ago
@behringer thanks, one more thing... can i use this mixer plus the uca-202 plus any u-control with audio interface and record multiple inputs? it looks like a silly question but i'm new in this thing...
