There should be some kind of preferences menu or options menu to select it. In addition you will need to select what interface is assigned in your recording software. Also set the recording to USB Audio Codec. Also set the default recording to USB Audio Codec.įrom the Start menu in Windows Vista, go to control panel > sounds. Set your default sound playback to USB Audio Codec. The interface built into the mixer doesn't have to have a driver of it's own at all.įrom the Start menu in Windows XP, go to control panel > sounds & audio devices > select audio. The interface built into the mixer uses the generic Microsoft USB driver, which is built in to Windows XP. This means that it doesn't need a driver to be installed when used with Windows XP or Mac OS X. The USB interface built into the mixer is class compliant under Windows and uses core audio driver on a Mac. You will be able to monitor through the speakers or the headphones. You will want to connect the control room outputs to your power amp or powered speakers and control your monitoring level via the CTRL ROOM knob. You will need to select the 2TR/USB to CTRL ROOM button so that the computer output will be routed away from the main mix to the CTRL ROOM output. If you toggle the red 2-tr/usb buttons, then it will fix the issue.Ĭonnect the USB connection from the mixer to your computer. Thanks for any information you can provide.Information that I received from Behringer. Everything I've seen says I can't and shouldn't use the Behringer AISO drivers.

Is the "TO PHONES/CTRL RM" button pressed and the "TO MAIN MIX" button not pressed in order to make this work?ģ. Assuming I use the USB cable, setup the Audacity USB input/output preferences between the mixer and laptop, set up the 4 drum mics correctly and use headphones to monitor - is there any problem expected to monitor the playback and the live drum input while recording the live drums as a new track to accompany the playback track?Ģ. This solution negates the usefulness of the mixer USB connection, which doesn't make sense to me. I have seen the "mix-minus" setup solution online.

I seen much discussion here and on YouTube about problems monitoring a playback while monitoring live mics and recording new tracks to accompany the original. I understand the latency issue between the playback and the new track and know how to adjust in Audacity. I understand the latency issue between live playback and monitoring via Audacity, so I have purchased the mixer to fix by monitoring via the mixer. The drum tracks are intended to be separate from the playback track but part of the playback file. I intend to use the mixer to mic an acoustic drum set and add drum tracks to files provided by others using the Q1202USB mixer and Audacity.

I have installed Audacity and been able to record via a USB and monitor with headphones. My XENYX Q1202USB will be received tomorrow.
