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.
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.
After 5 years this video is still actual and life saving!
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.
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!!!
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
Thanks for the comment, glad it was helpful.
this video is so useful for Xenyx users! thanks for giving out this cool tip and the clear explanations
Thank you for taking the time to make these tutorials and explanations. Great videos!

Thank you and you are most welcome.
@@RecordingStudio9 Is the main outputs balanced?
This is a video I’m looking for. This is by far the best video on this. Thanks!
Thank you man, great video. I was frustrating with my Behringer mixer, and now with this I made it work. thanks
Thank you for this instruction, i now know exactly how the 502 works now and that is appreciated.
Thank you so much. It helped me so much ..watched the video twice and my q802usb worked for a dual pc streaming pc setup
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!
You're welcome.
what is a rca loop lead? i was with him until that part beacause i've never heard of it

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.
Thanks for the comment. Glad it was helpful.
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!!!
So what audio input did you use for Zoom? USB? I'm trying to set this up for my father to do church services. Of course, I am not present to work on this, because of the COVID quarantine
@@christopherballard2893 Yes, I used the USB interface. It was literally plug and play, no drivers required and everything worked (Windows). Then in Zoom you can select your video and audio sources. Good luck....
Thank you for your explanation. Finally, I can record my bass correctly with this mixer.
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.
Thanks for the feedback. My video demonstration of the audio routing is much more popular czcams.com/video/9w9ovvHmlEc/video.html
Hi there - I just read your comment that you have been able to complete the USB/2-TR input/output inclusion/exclusion with Xeynx1204 USB mixer. I see two red buttons (2-TR/USB and 2-TR/USB to Main) and 2 black buttons (Alt 3-4 and Main Mix) and 1 knob (for Phones/Ctrl Room). How do I need to use these buttons along with RCA loop cable to accomplish the following - record only microphone audio in computer via usb while playing music/karaoke track on computer and be able to hear the music/vocal together with no latency in headphones
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!
Thanks for watching.
thank you very much ! the best explanation i found on the internet!
4 years later I just can say: THANK YOU
Glad it was helpful.
Thanks for the explanation. Clear and direct. I think I got it, now to try it ...
Thank you!!!
Great video, clear and concise explanation and the use of diagram makes everything easy to understand.
Thanks for watching. Make sure you watch my physical gear demonstration video on Q502USB as well
Apparently you can make this device do things you may not want. I appreciate seeing this video before I do any recording. 👍👍👍
Thanks for explaining overdub versus Latency effect, that is my use case. Thanks for the good explanation
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, exactly what I was looking for!
Good review~ "Behringer Xenyx Q502USB Mixer Audio Routing in Detail"
Thank you soo much for the zero-latency trick at the end
This video might help more czcams.com/video/9w9ovvHmlEc/video.html
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.
THANK YOU!
Very well explained.
This is excellent
I all time watch & follow your all tutorial. thanks for good suggestion. thanks
You are most welcome
YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER. GOD BLESS!!
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 -:)
Amazing as always. Thanks friend !
Really useful video mate thanks for your input.👍
Omg I wish I watched this last night before I ventured out and didn't get the right cables ahah thank you for the clear explanation!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for this! Works a treat!
It works perfectly. Thanks a lot.
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!
Thanks, these videos are very helpful
Wow eso fue brillante no lo habia pensado asi.. y me acabas de ayudar muchisimo grandioso..

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!!
Sorry, I don't speak Spanish to translate.
You da man!
good video :)
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?

By connecting the 2 RCA leads for ‘zero latency ‘ you are also bypassing the safety.
thank you very mouch
Thanks for watching.
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
Genius...
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?
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 :)
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?
Please watch my Zero Latency Trick video
can you control the sound from the pc via usb with one of the controls on the mixer independent of the mic?
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.
This mixer is an audio interface, so no need to purchase additional interface. It only supports USB stereo audio (2 out x 2 in), of the main outputs. If you are expecting or looking for each channel to record separately in WAVES Tracks Live, then it will only show just 2 channels.
Hi, Thanks for your response. My mixer is slightly different than this video. I have in the Source section[2-TR/USB(red), ALT 3-4(grey), Main Mix(grey) buttons] and outside of the Source section to the right I have a [2-TR/USB to Main (red) button] Assuming that I have the software routing set correctly, do you know which of these buttons should be pressed and depressed? I assume again with it being pressed/set correctly that when I play an instrument, that I should see activity within WAVES Tracks Live. Thank you for your help! Ever since Iphone released 10.3 IOS, my phone adapter to record the mixer directly into the phone has stopped working.
Nevermind i got it, i had to enable what tracks i wanted to send the outputs too.
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!
Yes, you understood correctly. You are able to do that with my workaround video demonstration.
thanks
Welcome
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 ?
This video might give you the answer czcams.com/video/9w9ovvHmlEc/video.html
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 :-)
Best to visit www.behringer.com and check out the spects to see if they fit your requirement.
Might want to watch this video too. czcams.com/video/JBPOIxTs4FE/video.html
Remember, the Mic inputs do not work well with guitars directly plugged into them. 802 may not be enough channels for what you need. Look for 1002USB.
Here si a demo for guitars czcams.com/video/lDd8eS_CcSo/video.html
Does it work the same with the qx1002usb
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...?
If you are using USB mics, then you cannot really use a mixer, as the USB mic plugs to the PC USB port directly.
You can use ASIO4ALL to combine multiple USB Mics into your recording software, but you may have some issues.
If you need 3 Mics but simple stereo main audio to your recording software, then 3 dynamic or condenser Mics into any 3 Mic channel USB mixer should do.
Hope this helps
