I have owned 2 Focusrite 2i2’s both developed problems. I then purchased a Behringer XenyxQX1202 which does a fantastic job! I use this with my home recording setup.
Thank you for validating my choice in mixers. I was looking at both of these and purchased the 1202 yesterday over the 202. Air seems like I made the correct choice. I appreciate your video and will look at more to learn more.
I record vocals using the Scarlett preamps but I connect the direct monitor in stereo mode to the Behringer mixer the vocals in a channel and the music in other to.add effects while monitoring that way I get 0 latency and all the quality of the Scarlett
I hope you can help us. We doing a podcast and we want to update our two mic setup into four. Currently we using a focusrite 6i6 for audio interface, and rode podmics. These have a pretty good quality in my opinion, so we don't want to level down if we extend the number of mics. What do you think the Behringer XENYX QX1202 USB would be a good solution for 4 mics?
Hey! So kind of a silly question here, but you noted that the Behringer USB records at a much lower rate than the Scarlet. I'm curious, as I happen to have both units, if I was to run the signal out of the Behringer into the Scarlet and used the Scarlet for my recording interface, would I pick up the higher sampling rate?
Great!!! Question! I have the behringer Xenyx QX1202USB... and I have this huge problem with my mixer and streamyard... when I use the usb in the mixer for some reason I can't hear the guests at all... I tried it just using the M-Audio Mtrack 2x2 directly and works but I can only input 2 mics there... I would like to just use the mixer usb but just doesn't work properly I can never hear my guests... any tips???
I would recommend avoiding Behringer. Something like the Yamaha MG10XU or Mackie ProFX would work well if you want a mixer. Otherwise the Rodecaster or the Scarlett 4i4 are popular as well
Hello and thank you for this video. I'm actually deciding right between these two devices. And of course I can't make a final decision. I have an electronic drumkit and I use a drum software in my PC to trigger everything. Plus I use an audio device to listen at drumless songs and I play over it. Everything is connected to a Behringer mixer, not USB. My goal is just to be able to record everything in my computer. Because I already owe a mixer I was more pointed in the Focusrite direction, but not sure if this would be the right decision.
Hi and thank you for the video. It seems clear to me that the Focusrite is my choice for home recording layers of acoustic guitar. But In that other 1% of the time when i want to connect to an amplifier with a pre-amp (say for playing live in a small space), will the Focusrite be a sufficient way to do it or do i need the mixer for that for a reasonable output?
hey there im scarlet´s user and ive just discovered the behringer one so my question is : for rap recordings which one is gonna be better with a rode nt1a? do you think it really worth? thanks in advance
Kettner Creative thank you very much can’t wait for it since yesterday when I discovered your channel learned more in a few hours than looking for weeks for solutions on youtube keep up the videos really underrated channel
Both will work. It really depends on what size of unit you want on your desk and if you’ll ever use this for another purpose (live events, music etc.) If you’re just getting it for zoom, get the Scarlett
Thanks for this very useful review. I own both and at the end of the day it all depends on the goal the user is trying to achieve and the allocated budget. For recording musicians at home the scarlet wins for me. The behringer is useful for music rehearsals, demo recordings but not the best recording quality. Eventually it is a true case of you pay for what you get. When you identify your need the choice becomes much easier. :) .

so you can record with the Behringer XenyxQX1202? even in Logic pro?
Any idea how to get a guitar sound to go through cleanly?
This channel deserves more subs.

Glad I could help!
Man, why you insist in respond all my questions even before I ask? best audio channel ever!
This is helpful.. but how is the studio performance of the Beringer like when you recording voice and guitar
Very honest review. Thanx man!
Is there a way to combine these two devices? And, would it make sense to do so?
I record vocals using the Scarlett preamps but I connect the direct monitor in stereo mode to the Behringer mixer the vocals in a channel and the music in other to.add effects while monitoring that way I get 0 latency and all the quality of the Scarlett
but I use the version with integrated effects "QX1202usb"

And to clarify, I'd use TRS cables from the main outs into TRS or XLR into the Scarlet to accomplish this ...
Yes, because the analog to digital conversion would be done with the Scarlett.
@@kettnercreative Thanks! That helps.
Have you done an a and B comparison to the scarlet and flow 8 by baringer?
Is that the XENYX Q1202 or the QX1202??
Which headphones do you suggest for the behringer mixer?? 32 80 250 ohm??

I have XENYX 802 mixer Do I need to audio interface as well?
I have this same Scarlette. But I need more inputs for podcast. Should I switch?

Can I connect two pairs of studio monitors to the Q1202?

Thanks for this video Great info.!
Glad it was helpful!
Great coments! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Super clear, TY very much
Very Informative
Thank u❤
can you compare preamp noise of these devices ?
We have better info here: kettnercreative.com/audio-interface/behringer-xenyx-q1202-usb-vs-focusrite-scarlett-2i2/
hey there im scarlet´s user and ive just discovered the behringer one so my question is : for rap recordings which one is gonna be better with a rode nt1a? do you think it really worth? thanks in advance
Stick with the Scarlett.
Hello can you make a video with the Xenyx Q1202 USB Audio Console & Rode Podcast Microphone ?
For sure, it’s on the list.
Kettner Creative thank you very much can’t wait for it since yesterday when I discovered your channel learned more in a few hours than looking for weeks for solutions on youtube keep up the videos really underrated channel
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
If I am using a Scarlett 2i2 for Zoom, how do I do things like add a noise gate, add a compressor, etc... on the live audio input going into Zoom?
You would need to use some type of software based solution like OBS for this.
@@kettnercreative thank you! I was able to do this in OBS, using blackhole to patch the output into Zoom
Which is the best for Zoom?
Both will work. It really depends on what size of unit you want on your desk and if you’ll ever use this for another purpose (live events, music etc.)
If you’re just getting it for zoom, get the Scarlett

Thanks for the comment. I agree completely.
