Thank you for this! It's simpler than some other "explanations" I've been looking at. And I like the trick with the RCA jacks. You have almost 250,000 views -- for a video that explains a _really_ obscure and complex problem.

The best way to explain the connection of an analog mixing console. This is the basis for connecting all of them. Thanks a lot. You're the best.

Wow, I had no idea!!! Up until now, I just used one side of my headphones, so that I could hear the music coming from the headphones on one ear and hear my voice with my other ear because, even after installing the ASIO driver, the latency was so big that it was just impossible to hear myself on my headphones. I just tried to connect the RCA Left & Right outputs to the inputs and...magic!!! It works! So glad I saw this video! Thank you for making it and sharing this!!!

its nice of you to answer all the doubts people have. I've ordered this item so i hope you'll be available when i have doubts in a weeks time.

After 5 years this video is still actual and life saving!

I don't know how many threads on the net I have read so far which are testament to the fact how very confused people (myself absolutely included, mind you) are about how this thing with USB/2-TR input/output inclusion/exclusion really works. I must have read the according sections of the manuals to my X1204USB, Q802USB and Q502USB about 10 times each before I finally (with some experimentation) got to the point where things came together for me; and still I have to look up my notes, whenever I haven't done multi-tracking with them in a while. Your video on the other hand makes it all very easy to understand (I am really surprised that there are only ~725 views.) Anyway, many thanks for taking the time not only to show how it's done, but also for doing it with very clear diagrams. Big thumbs up.

this video is so useful for Xenyx users! thanks for giving out this cool tip and the clear explanations

I tried this yesterday, it works great ....happy to be getting the most from this little unit. Actually very simple... 1 set of jumpers and two buttons ... and all is good. Thanks for this great post

Oh my god, that RCA Loop was exactly what I needed! I never would've thought about that! Props to you good sir! Thanks so much!

Thank you for taking the time to make these tutorials and explanations. Great videos!

This trick gave me a huge improvement to may streamings and recordings. Normally I don't listen the audio from mic, and can't dose my voice into the streaming. Now I can listem my voice with my game and record only the mic. Exactly the way I wanted. Thank You in very much.

Thank you for this instruction, i now know exactly how the 502 works now and that is appreciated.

Thank you man, great video. I was frustrating with my Behringer mixer, and now with this I made it work. thanks

Thank you so much. It helped me so much ..watched the video twice and my q802usb worked for a dual pc streaming pc setup

Good review~ "Behringer Xenyx Q502USB Mixer Audio Routing in Detail"

Thank you for your explanation. Finally, I can record my bass correctly with this mixer.

Ok, lol. I was a film major, so I have audio knowledge in the most basic, just-more-than-an-enthusiast type of level. I’ve been looking for an answer to this question FOR MONTHS. Every video or tutorial was either so basic it didn’t cover what I needed to know, or so complicated I’d need to own a record label to understand. This answered my questions! THANK YOU!

This is a video I’m looking for. This is by far the best video on this. Thanks!

The Best answer to the question. Another solution is mini mixer for the laptop out (ourr recorder) and the mixer out, just in case we need all inputs of the mixer. But this solution is the best. Thanks.

Perfect! Was having this problem today with my QX1002USB using with Zoom app and this video was spot-on, using the patch cord fixed it! Well done video with great illustrations as well. Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!

Apparently you can make this device do things you may not want. I appreciate seeing this video before I do any recording. 👍👍👍

thank you very much ! the best explanation i found on the internet!

This is excellent

THANK YOU! Very well explained.

Thank you!!! Great video, clear and concise explanation and the use of diagram makes everything easy to understand.

Thanks for the explanation. Clear and direct. I think I got it, now to try it ...

I've been very frustrated with this latency issue. Can't wait to hook my mixer up once more to give it a go. If this works you'll definately be in my late night prayers -:)

Thank you so much for this! I have been looking for a way to record and listen to my guitar trough Skype/discord while not also losing the sound from the call. With VAC(Virtual Aduio Cables) I can now do this and also rout both my mixers to Discord. THANK YOU!

4 years later I just can say: THANK YOU

Amazing as always. Thanks friend !

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks for explaining overdub versus Latency effect, that is my use case. Thanks for the good explanation

well said...thanks for give us more info about it, thumb up and keep it up (y)

Wow eso fue brillante no lo habia pensado asi.. y me acabas de ayudar muchisimo grandioso..

thanks for the info, may god be with you ..

It works perfectly. Thanks a lot.

Thank you soo much for the zero-latency trick at the end

You are a legend! Thank you so much and big thumbs up!

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER. GOD BLESS!!

Great Video Bro. Helped Me For Sure

Hey thanks for the video. I'm currently using garage band to record you explained my issue but I didnt quite understand. I cant seem to figure out how to record vocals only while listening to the music through the headphones - thanks again ^_^

Superb video sir ji

Amazing! Thanks so much - this was driving me mad.

thank you very much. very good. :)

This is a video I’m looking for. It is detailed enough to set up a record system with Xenyx mixer. I want to ask you if I want to sing live through this to Facebook ? Thanks a lot

can you control the sound from the pc via usb with one of the controls on the mixer independent of the mic?

Thank you 🙏🏾

I need help to use it with a ps4, xlr mic and a pc. The question is, will i be able to: [while using headphones and mic] talk to game chat in ps4 sending ONLY the audio from my mic, while listening the audio from ps4 AND pc via headphones? also will i be able to adjust the volume of the audio coming from the ps4 and pc? [while using speakers, no mic] hearing audio from ps4 OR pc at will from my 2.1 sound system? If you can tell me the right configuration it would be awesome :)

B-E-A-UTIFUL.

A good tutorial on routing of audio signals with useful diagrams. The zero latency trick is pretty awesome! However it is mentioned that keeping the "USB/2-Track" to "Main Mix" button down (accidentally) would cause feedback and possible damage the unit. The manual says that when this button is down, the signal to the "2-track out" (as well as the audio going to the USB from the mixer) would be cut off. Which means there is a built in protection against feedback in case the said button is down. However this raises another question. How would the overdubbed recording scenario work if the audio signal going to the USB (from the mixer) is cut off when the said button is down?

Cool vid!

Great

Man.. ur a god

Thanks for the video, really helpfull!

Thats what i want... 🙏

great video man GJGJ

Great! Audio for dummies, ie: me. I wont be using to record, but just for gaming/streaming/podcast possibly. Audio can be so confusing. What drivers are you using with the Q802?

How would I hook up/need additionally to make three usb rode podcaster USB microphones work and which of the two mixers do you prefer for a first time podcaster...?

Your presentation and overall description is excellent. I have one question, while listening from headphones and control room can it give echo affect ? Does it have equaliser ?

Subtitulo en español para la próxima, o este de ser posible. No encuentro vídeo en español tan bien explicados. Incluso sin entender el idioma puedo llegar a comprender lo que enseña, felicitaciones!!

Sir this was informational. I would like to know once I begin on zenyx 502 please list the precautions before I start the device . Shud both phones and mix buttons be up and other precautions or provide a link here. Please

Thanks for this excellent explanatory video. I think one key piece of information is missing - How do you connect the RCA loop lead? From what you have shown, I'm guessing you just plug both L and R RCA channels to connect the Output to the Input sockets, which creates an analog feedback loop that only goes to the headphone monitors. Correct?

Hi and thanks for posting interesting instructions. Provided that I am interested in xenyx 802, what is not clear though is how many sources I can connect at the same time. My need is to play guitar and bass (hopefully drum too) on a recorded sound track. So I need a stereo input and at least 2 or 3 additional inputs for instruments. Mics have their own channels, but I do not know whether can be used for instruments. Many thanks for supporting me :-)

thks for help ...

I'm trying to build a karaoke system with main audio coming from a PC/laptop (Karaoke software) and being played over the HiFi system and the vocals being played onto a set of PA speakers in order not to destroy the HiFi speakers. Would I be able to set this up with a mixer like the Q502 USB?

when I connect my microphone thorugh XLR input and my guitar through the other input, it doesn't pick up my guitar? How will i be able to pick up both the mic and guitar at the same time?

I have a Behringer Xenyx 1204USB connected to my windows 10 desktop via usb only. I'm using Track Live, a free recording program just to test if the inputs are being recognized in the software, but so far i haven't been able to see any audio coming into the Tracks. I'm using ASIO4ALL driver as well. I'll attempt to try again following this video, I'd expect I shouldn't have to purchase another recording module that the USB connection is all that I should need.

Hey bro thanks for the video. I now now can hear sounds coming from my pc to the mic connected to the mixer. also can record sounds from the mic. but i still can hear what im recording in my headset and i dont want to hear my voice. what do i do?

Can the audience listen the recorded voice+music of DAW through a paired Bluetooth speaker simultaneously on real time? This is while singing and recording?

So if i understood correctly from my totally ignorant point of you: with this mixer you can send a guitar signal to the computer, have it manipulated by a software, for example MSP/Live, and then have it back to the mixer and the monitors? Thank you all these unvaluable videos you put out!

Best video .

good video :)

Question: If I hook up my USB mixer to my Ipad and use garageband or any DAW software to capture the incoming live performance sound/signal from mixer and then use Airplay to send the sound wirelessly out to a speaker and not necessarily for recording, but just strictly using the captured the sound from the mixer onto the Ipad so I can Airplay it to the speaker. Can I do this while having all speakers on loudly without worrying about any feedback? or Can I do this at all? Thank you.

well explain :)

Hello and thank you for your nice video. I use to connect my Korg Krome keyboard into my Bose Compnaion 5 (2.1 system) Aux Input: the 2 1/4 jack keyboard output (for a stereo sound) are converted into a single 3.5mm jack that plugs into the Companion 5 Aux Input. I works nice. The Bose are already connected on my computer via USB connection. Now I would like to connect my DX7 synth (2 output 1/4 jack), my electric guitar (1 output 1/4 jack), and my Yamaha Piagero NPV80 2 keyboard (1 output 1/4 jack) to my Bose 2.1 speakers, the whole IN STEREO, via the entry jack 3.5 mm. Do I need to use a mixer (BEHRINGER XENYX QX1002USB), an audio interface (BEHRINGER UMC404HD), or both of them? Thank you in advance for your answers!
