We mix severall channels down to stereo and send that into the DAW. We've been doing that for a while now, and the mixes, with practice, sound better and better. That way you will come to understand how the board works. Practice mixing and tweaking your rehearsed performances by listening to the mixes afterwards. Buy the Behringer 2442 use it for live work, whether at your rehearsal space or live out somewhere. My advice is to mix your band in stereo to the computer, Whysman. The USB hook-up is basically just a convenient way to send a stereo mix from the desk, whether its a 2442 or a 1202. You'll need the cables for all of this, of course. If it takes ten in, the 2442 will give it ten (and then some). The main thing here is the soundcard or interface for the computer. I have two smaller Behringer mixers ganged together, so at the moment I can send out 4 channels discrete, though my sound card only takes two.
The 1202 will only send out stereo (or two channels discrete). For $100.00 U.S., you can buy Behringer's patchbay and dramatically increase your signal-sending (and receiving)capabilities.Īny large desk is going to have these send/return jacks. In other words, all channel signals can be sent out, in addition to submixes.

The 2442 Xenyx has full routing capabilities (Via the insert/send jacks), just like my old 2442A. You need one that will take, say, eight outs from the Behringer and send those eight channels to the DAW in the computer. The problem here is the interface for the computer. Absolutely you can multitrack with the Behringer 2442 series (I have an old 2442A).
