Behringer Xenyx Q1202 USB Audio Mixing Console Setup

[@gregmanifaxelhas2469]

This is by far the best introduction to the 1202. I've had mine almost two years and it can still surprise me with each use. Awesome content

As someone completely new to audio mixers. This was so helpful! Thank you for something so easy to follow.

Wow! Amazing! Thanks so much! I have been struggling for years and in 15 minutes you break the code for me! My Xenyx QX1202Usb just got more of value in my life! Thanks so much! Faure, Pretoria, South Africa

[@drrainlim]

Love how you make it so clear and easy to understand and follow. I connect my Behringer 1204USB straight to my MacBook, Shure Wireless Mics, for my Crystal Sound Bowls Recording, the hissing sound is horrendous. A direct wired Shure lapel to my iPhone sounded way better! Gosh! Any tips or areas I ought to look at to reduce those HISSING sound?

[@chaitusrikri]

Hey, did you find a way to get that reduced. I have the same issue with my mixer.

[@drrainlim]

@@chaitusrikri I spoke to a couple of people who have done this and they told me that the mics are picking up sounds, thus the hisss. One way to reduce it is by hanging moving mats all around (I can't afford a sound proof studio for now). Hope that helps

[@towers.18]

Hello mick, would you recommend me this for recording? Can you record each channel by it’s own?

[@mickodonnell890]

@@towers.18 no you can only record what is output from the USB connector or perhaps the audio Jack outputs which would be whatever is selected at the time eg if you had 6 inputs then they would all be output at the same time. You’d need something like an 8 or 16 track recorder for example as they take individual track inputs. The Zoom R8 is one example but I’m no expert and haven’t tried recording anything yet so maybe someone else could help here

[@TheYoungVulnerableAnimeGirls]

I came here find out why it wasn't sending audio from my pc to head phones and into reaper. This was the ONE THING I needed to know. 17:44

[@Akira_Matsumoto]

You are great, i always learning from you! Thank you so much!

[@jonathanarleys]

As I remembered reading on this unit manual book, that Stereo Line input are Balanced TRS input...
So, if I have any active DI, I can put it to the stereo input on almost any behringer xenyx mixers...
Yamaha doesnt have any balanved TRS input like behringer...

Can you do a video on the specific X1204USB setup (connections, dials, buttons) for USB connection FROM and TO a Windows PC. I want to RECORD on my PC through the mixer and PLAY PC audio through the mixer to my speakers/headphones, etc.

[@giovanninasuluh]

@@Bobby_Rib this is so bizarre. My better half has a smaller behrenger board (302 something) and can but I can't with the Q1202. He can monitor himself just fine but I get nothing. There has to be some way to monitor the mix?

DId you ever figure this out? Im googling and cant. I just got my mixer and I am trying to connect it to FL Studio (and I tried other DAWs too) and there is no sound. I plugged a keyboard into it.

Hey Jordan!
Just got the QX1202 USB a few days ago and tried streaming with it. I tried streaming on UA-cam through OBS, while i'm talkin' to people on Omegle. Problem i've found is that when i hear the people on the site, they cant hear me and vice versa. There's no way i can set up the mixer to be able to monitor the USB line from the computer and also be able to send my mic through USB also, it's either one or the other when i'm using the mixer as an input and output device in my laptop, and that's really frustrating for me sice thats the only reason i bought the mixer in the first place. The alternative to this that i've found is to use the laptop's headphone out and run it into one of the line ins on the mixer but then i get a really bad buzzing sound. My question would be: is the Mackie ProFx10V3 capable of USB playback and input at the same time, while also allowing me to monitor my analogue sources and laptops audio at the same time, without it cutting the USB out to the laptop?
Thanks in advance!

[@From_A_Diverging_Timeline]

Hey thanks for the video! I do have a question. So I take a cable from the FX send to an effect unit, then back into channels 5/6, how do i then use the effect on other channels? On channels 5/6 would i press the FX button, set the level, then use the effect knobs on other channels? I have the 1202fx. Not usb. but they are very similar.

Hi. Excellent video, clear and concise, I am a little puzzled though, you have shown how to connect microphones and your mobile phone and spoke and played music from them into and out of the xenyx, did I miss something, the xenyx was not connected to a powered speaker or an amp.? Did you use the USB imput/output which is situated on the rear of the xenyx and therefore unseen?.
I feel that I am risking embarrassment in asking this question but I would still like to know.
John Berwick.

[@kettnercreative]

Yes exactly. Connected to USB and recorded on the computer

[@johnberwick2739]

@kettnercreative Thank you, for your speedy reply.
My need is to connect 1 or 2 mics via the xlr inputs, and then for audio, connect my Dell laptop via the 3.5mm headphone socket or a USB socket (using an adaptor) outlet, into the xenyx (qx1202usb)with a 3.5mm stereo jack to 3 x 6.3mm mono Jack's cable into L/R line in ?. Then connect the xenyx to one or two powered speaker amps, I Hope this makes sense to you, and you can offer me a solution.
Thank you so much for your time and expertise.

Thanks for such a detailed video. I am trying to connect my iphone to the mono line input on the mixer using Lightening cable to 1/4 balanced TRS cable which I plug into the line 1 but I hear it with a lot of background noise which sounds similar to white noise. Do I need a cable like you showed 1/8 inch to dual 1/4 inch? I can hear the mic into my bose mini soundlink I have connected using aux cable ( from main out line cable to 3.5mm aux into speaker) and its very clear. Just the phone input is not clear and I have to put the gain and volume all the way up for it to be heard but then there is this noise that gets added. Can u please suggest what to do? Thank you
