Thanks for the review, this is exactly what I was looking for. Been using my trusty old Tascam US 144 for PC stuff, but this will work really well for short audio recordings I do away from pc and I can also use my studio mic with it on phantom power etc.
Great review thanks. I am a drummer and have the following plan. For live - iPad with play list to Dual DI box. Clickout from DI box on one channel and track out the other, both into the mixer with short 1/4 inch standard guitar cables and listen through a set of in-ears. With my own line in from the sound guy this would give me control of my own inputs at the drums. What do you think? Any good for this set up.
Thank you for the review. He is right about the "robotic voice". This has a bluetooth mode. It is the only mode so far wherein i was able to connect to laptop and record without the robotic distortion
Yeah, when using it as stand alone mixer, works great. But when i record on my pc, i got this robotic sound. Isn't because of the cheap usb cable maybe? I wanna know how to connect with Bluetooth for recording.
Probably the best review of this type of mixer. My problem is there is like a 50hz hum. Literally have all dials to zero and there is still a noise. Have you had this problem?
Thank you so much! I’ve had major distortions when recording with my laptop. Everything works fine when I record using an SD card. I think it is a faulty sound chip in the mixer. I have a review coming up with another mixer that maybe better. Stay tuned.
Hi is LED signal ON when eff activated? and another else, the cables connection from main output (L/R) is buzzing (over-noise) for few times I've checked it up.
Received one of these today, as I've been trying to find something cheap and cheerful to record from my digital piano. I have to say your explanation is far clearer than the weird proto-english in the user guide. "The adapter is powered by the adapter*. Okay then... :/
@@JohnSpearsJr Yes thanks, I think I've eventually figured it out. If you turn the user guide into a paper plane and aim it at a fire then the heat will keep you warm on a cold English November morning while you assemble a mass of wires and adapters...
For the USB to work when you insert it, all you need to do is press the button in front of the mixer. The switch will toggle from "USB-Computer connection" to "USB-Disk connection". Then you can use your USB to record the audio directly to your USB disk. Also, alternatively, when you insert the USB-Disk to the mixer, you can also press the Play/Pause button for 3-seconds for it to start recording directly from the mixer.
Dawn Witt I’ll use a blank usb flash drive. The one I used had other files along with audio files. It may just need one audio file and nothing else to be able to record.
@@JohnSpearsJr yes, one mp3 is needed on the drive. plug it in and it will play that file, and make a recording directory. after you record all files will be in there
I have been having terrible problems with this machine and my iMac... the audio drops out to silence often. I wish other low cost options were available right now, but covid 19 has everything on backorder.
If you have had success using the microSD card slot then transferring to my iPad to make edits. Sound quality isn’t that bad. I wanted to use my PC but the distortion is a deal breaker.
Hi , i havr also same unit of your mixer my problem of my mixer when livestreaming thr sound not goes to my livestream , what is the problem im using RCA -3.5mm jack and adapter female 3.5 -TRRS JACK. Going to my phone still not recording or getting the sound thanks please help
Great review, John! I have a similar mixer (the Teyun A4), and you *can* record to a USB flash drive on that. However, when I record to a flash drive, I hear dropouts (missing samples). 😔 Did you experience the same thing with a microSD card? And if so, is there any advice?
Thank you! I haven’t experienced the missing samples when recording via microSD card. I’ll think on it and hope to provide you some guidance if I’m able to.
Hi can someone advise how to connect PA speakers for karoake? It’s very good video but I don’t know where is the audio OUT in the mixer? Is it the headphone jack the only option?
To be honest I’m not sure. I use the micro SD slot to record my audio for my podcast. I’ve had a robotic sound when I connect to my laptop. I’ve tried it on two different machines and still get the same results.
it can, as that is what I use it for, but I do not recommend it. It's USB connection is buggy as hell, and it is unreliable... it is also, imo, noisy, but that is the least of my unhappinesses with it.
I’d love to try the muslady am-68. I may purchase it or see if Muslady will send me one to review. The one I reviewed in this video is great if you want to do podcasting using a micro SD card. I had a lot of distortion when I connected to my PC to record
My issue was when I recorded with the mixer connected to the PC or laptop I’d get a distorted robotic sound on playback. When recording from SD card I can easily hear and play music from the PC via mixer and headphones.
@@JohnSpearsJr Hi John, Behringer sells a RCA to USB Converter. You maybe familiar with it. I own a couple of them. Amazon and ebay sells them. One thing I was trying to find was the manual on this mixer and the Muslady F4 mixer. The F4 on ebay, we think will allow you to take and run audio from a desktop or laptop to stream or record. Do you know anything about that one? We are in the U.S. and they are being sold here. This one your demonstrating would be fine if it comes with a AC adapter. My desktop uses Microsoft Windows 10, the Desktop PC is a Dell with a built in sound card. My engineer's name is Jim "Turbo" Turvaville and we are very interested in this product! It's inexpensive and seems to be reliable for even small, licensed, FM Stations. Jim owns two FM Stations in the Panhandle of Texas. His church, I'm sure would be interested to know more for using at nursing homes. COVID is so bad here right now.
@@JohnSpearsJr I found it on Ebay and the price on $42.00 U.S. Dollars, WOW! Behringer has gone up on their mixer prices over the past 12 years as they have gained popularity over Mackie, and other brands. The seller is dinwa1391. I would give you a link, but my smartphone won't copy it from Ebay. Nice looking mixer with a power supply and user manual!
I need Phantom Power($16 - Purely a Phantom Power Supply) and I think also need a soundcard($4 to $X) which can be replaced with a Muslady USB Mixer BUT i will heavily edit the recording using a computer. Which do you think is worth it? The Muslady USB Mixer can be used for mixing live but the Phantom Power is half the price. $20 - Phantom Power + sound card or $40 - Muslady USB Mixer + sd card then transfer to PC for edit
The mixer provides adjustable gain. Phantom Power supplies will usually come with predefined gain, which might be too high for your instrument/mic and cause clipping.
if your having problems with using it on pc with it making weird noises when mic is talked into what i did was used the headphone output and used 3.5 to 3.5 jack to take it into the mic jack on the pc and it works flawlessly and have all the controls only downside is you wont be able to use the port for headphones but along as you got a port near you it works really well!
If you use the microSD card you data should transfer to your other device after recording. I have an adapter I use to connect to my iPad to edit and load on my podcast.
Insert micro SD card in SD slot. Then hold the play/pause button until “rec” appears. The instruction manual says to have an existing mp3 file on the SD card before recording on the mixer.
Good day sir! You should be able to use any condenser mic. The mixer has phantom power. Also I recommend recording audio via the micro SD. Be sure to have an existing mp3 file on it. The sound quality has proven to be pretty good for my podcast! I use a behringer dynamic mic.
Thanks for the review, this is exactly what I was looking for. Been using my trusty old Tascam US 144 for PC stuff, but this will work really well for short audio recordings I do away from pc and I can also use my studio mic with it on phantom power etc.
You’re welcome! I mostly record on the microSD card and then transfer to my iPad with an adapter I use. Works well for me!
this was a great review! i watched others who wasted my time..thank you for not wasting my time👍
You’re very welcome!

@@JohnSpearsJr I found the best way to record with my laptop was to have the mixers output into my line in, had no noise which made me happy!!
Use an external battery or the USB of your computer.. the 50-60HZ comes from the poor filtering of the USB charger
Hi is LED signal ON when eff activated? and another else, the cables connection from main output (L/R) is buzzing (over-noise) for few times I've checked it up.
I will check b

saw video on another brand and along with switch he mentioned having an audio file already on USB so unit recognizes

Usb connect to otg to mobile...can record the sound?
Nice review, is this good to add a mic to a DJ console to play gigs?
It does have a left and right output so you could connect speakers to it to give it a try. I’m not 100 percent sure though about the quality though.
@@JohnSpearsJr Ok, Thank you
You’re welcome and thanks for the kind words on the review. Have a great day!
Congratulations for this review. I am unable to change the setting to LINE mode. Can you help me?

Thank you! I haven’t experienced the missing samples when recording via microSD card. I’ll think on it and hope to provide you some guidance if I’m able to.
This unit is marketed under a few different brand names. But I suppose it would be OK for entry level use.
Yes indeed!
@@JohnSpearsJr My small unit is a Behringer xenyx 1002FX. Does the job for small gigs.
Hi can someone advise how to connect PA speakers for karoake? It’s very good video but I don’t know where is the audio OUT in the mixer? Is it the headphone jack the only option?
Let me check on that for you.
Can it be substitute or function as interface of audio in my home studio?
To be honest I’m not sure. I use the micro SD slot to record my audio for my podcast. I’ve had a robotic sound when I connect to my laptop. I’ve tried it on two different machines and still get the same results.

Good review! So this could record a guitar and backing track at the same time? It’s just what I’m looking for!
You should be able to
@@JohnSpearsJr just purchased one. It’ll be a bit of fun having a fool around with it. Glad I watched your vid on how to use it. Cheers again!
@@evansclan4eva49 cheers! I hope everything works out for you! Thanks for watching and for your kind words! Keep me posted!!
Are the main outs working ok? Thánks a lot
Than how you use it for podcast please make a video I'm buying that same mixer I need to know.
I’ll show you my process. I’ll try to get a video created soon.
How about the muslady sm-68? Will it be better? I was planning to use this as a guitar interface connected to my macbook.
I’d love to try the muslady am-68. I may purchase it or see if Muslady will send me one to review. The one I reviewed in this video is great if you want to do podcasting using a micro SD card. I had a lot of distortion when I connected to my PC to record
I cannot figure out how to set a radio station. All it wants to do is scan.
I haven’t used that function much sir. .
Let me get this straight, can't you just play (not record) audio from a desktop or laptop PC with this mixer? Something tells me you can.
My issue was when I recorded with the mixer connected to the PC or laptop I’d get a distorted robotic sound on playback. When recording from SD card I can easily hear and play music from the PC via mixer and headphones.

which model is this?
Does it distort anytime running through PC or just when recording to PC?
Just when recording to PC. For example when I use Audacity to record. Playback is distorted and has robotic sound.
@@JohnSpearsJr Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciated the explainer video and respect what you do helping others to learn what you know.
if your having problems with using it on pc with it making weird noises when mic is talked into what i did was used the headphone output and used 3.5 to 3.5 jack to take it into the mic jack on the pc and it works flawlessly and have all the controls only downside is you wont be able to use the port for headphones but along as you got a port near you it works really well!
Does the unit itself do the recording?
You can insert a micro SD card and record.
The SD card inserts in the mixer and it’ll detect. You can then start recording and do any edits in your computer or laptop
Brand new podcaster. Can I make a decent production out of this. Will my data transfer over to the card?
If you use the microSD card you data should transfer to your other device after recording. I have an adapter I use to connect to my iPad to edit and load on my podcast.
@@JohnSpearsJr thanks for posting this
Forever Venom you’re very welcome!
Man your using a behringer? Is a condenser mic btw
The mic in this video was a dynamic behringer mic. I do own a condenser mic but it’s not behringer.
@@JohnSpearsJr sorry my friend im wrong.. I thought behringer was condenser
No worries. Behringer does make condenser mics too. Hope all is well!
How to record in sd card?
Insert micro SD card in SD slot. Then hold the play/pause button until “rec” appears. The instruction manual says to have an existing mp3 file on the SD card before recording on the mixer.
John Spears JR Okay thank you:)
John Spears JR it works but I can’t edit in my daw
Did you try it on your laptop? Does it work?
Playback sound was horrible when recorded via laptop.
I was waiting for u to plug it to a laptop. But u did not. To see is to believe bro
Hey bro. I’ll do a video that shows the distortion.
Thumbs up!
Thank you!
so we cant use dynamic and condenser at the same time
hey sir? good day ?can i used bm 800 mic condenser on that mixer?
Good day sir! You should be able to use any condenser mic. The mixer has phantom power. Also I recommend recording audio via the micro SD. Be sure to have an existing mp3 file on it. The sound quality has proven to be pretty good for my podcast! I use a behringer dynamic mic.
@@JohnSpearsJr thank you very much sir... God bless
You’re very welcome. Blessings to you.
