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 th-cam.com/video/9w9ovvHmlEc/w-d-xo.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
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!!!
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.
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.
After 5 years this video is still actual and life saving!
4 years later I just can say: THANK YOU
Glad it was helpful.
Apparently you can make this device do things you may not want. I appreciate seeing this video before I do any recording. 👍👍👍
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.
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
Watch this video th-cam.com/video/9w9ovvHmlEc/w-d-xo.html
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.
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 instruction, i now know exactly how the 502 works now and that is appreciated.
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 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.
This is a video I’m looking for. This is by far the best video on this. Thanks!
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!
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....
Thanks for explaining overdub versus Latency effect, that is my use case. Thanks for the good explanation
Glad it was helpful!
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 video is so useful for Xenyx users! thanks for giving out this cool tip and the clear explanations
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 -:)
I all time watch & follow your all tutorial. thanks for good suggestion. thanks
You are most welcome
Thank you so much. It helped me so much ..watched the video twice and my q802usb worked for a dual pc streaming pc setup

I wish I knew WHY that works but it does, so thank you
thank you very much ! the best explanation i found on the internet!
Thanks for the explanation. Clear and direct. I think I got it, now to try it ...
Thank you for your explanation. Finally, I can record my bass correctly with this mixer.
Good review~ "Behringer Xenyx Q502USB Mixer Audio Routing in Detail"
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
Really useful video mate thanks for your input.👍
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 :)
Does it work the same with the qx1002usb
Excellent
I will definitely get his
THANK YOU!
Very well explained.
Thanks for this video, now I'm going to invest my precious bugs into this mixer. Hoping that the last routing ie zero latency would work
Thanks. This video might give you more details. th-cam.com/video/9w9ovvHmlEc/w-d-xo.html

Superb video sir ji
Wow eso fue brillante no lo habia pensado asi.. y me acabas de ayudar muchisimo grandioso..
Thanks for this! Works a treat!
Amazing as always. Thanks friend !
That was very clear, thank you!
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?
when I connect my microphone thorugh XLR input and my guitar through the other input, it doesn't pick up my guitar? How will i be able to pick up both the mic and guitar at the same time?
I have this problem too, did you find anything?
Are you plugging both Mic and guitar to same channel 1? It won't work, use line input of channel 2/3
@@RecordingStudio9 I didnt plug both my mic and guitar into input 1.
I tried plugging my guitar into all other inputs and it didn't work, I routed my guitar into an amp and then into the mixer too and that didn't work. I have an external drum machine and piano that I can't hear when plugged into the mixer as well. The only thing that works on the mixer is my condensor microphone??
Possibly faulty mixer? If you can hear the mic, then you should hear the other channels too on headphones or main mix speakers.
PS, if listening on headphones, make sure Main Mix volume is also up.
I didn’t catch your explanations, I just bought a mic a condenser one, AKG P120 and I am trying to hear something from this mic without success, I have tried all possible options, no way. I was able to record with a cheap dinamic mic and the sound was acceptable. How can I fix this? I got this mixer for abour 6 years and a preamp as well
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
I have a question concerning the Qenyx 802 (without USB). Maybe You can help me with that: how do I feed music I want to play along with in the mixer, so that this music DOS NOT get recorded? I only want the guitars recorded. Is that possible?
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.
Thank you for the explanation. If you could confirm that the RCA patch lead physically connects/bridges the IN RCA to the OUT RCA on the mixer. L IN to L OUT and R IN to R OUT. Thank you.
You can watch my other video on the topic for more details
@@RecordingStudio9 thanks. Found it
Very helpful vid! Thanks much sir!
Glad it was helpful!
@@RecordingStudio9 Indeed! It's my first time to use my xenyx USB q502 now and it worked perfectly! Thanks again!
Thanks, these videos are very helpful
very clear thank you!
Great Info...Thank you !
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!
You are a legend! Thank you so much and big thumbs up!

Thanks
It works perfectly. Thanks a lot.
Man.. ur a god
Thanks :P
Hey thanks for the video. I'm currently using garage band to record you explained my issue but I didnt quite understand. I cant seem to figure out how to record vocals only while listening to the music through the headphones - thanks again ^_^
thanks for the info, may god be with you ..
Really like your channel
can i use this mixer in conjunction with the behringer uporia 1820 and also the behringer ada expansion to obtain even more inputs to my daw, using this mixer as an additional interface to have all my gear connected to the system while choosing between the inputs of the three interfaces for recording while using the uphoria as the playback device?
Ok so I don’t have rca loop leads and I’m using behringer c-1 mic what would be the best set up for me?
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.
nobody liked this golden tutorial ? what kind of world is this? I am the first to a like.
i am waiting for my behringer to be delivered. cant wait and your video helps a lot.
Hello my friend
What is the correct way to connect three devices, for example, an ecolizer, a crossover, and a compressor, provided that they are connected to the last in the mixer
Great Video Bro. Helped Me For Sure
Sir it's really help ful
well said...thanks for give us more info about it, thumb up and keep it up (y)
Thank's for the informative video, but I am not sure if I fully understand.
So you basically put a stereo chinch audiocable in the 2-Track In and Out, To Phones Down, To Main Mix Up, and then you hear computer audio plus latence free mic on your headphones, without re-recording the computeraudio in the Track. And all that doesn't damage the Mixer? Is that right? It's so confusing...
This video might answer your question th-cam.com/video/9w9ovvHmlEc/w-d-xo.html
best learning video thx u so much
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?
Jude Soosai
By connecting the 2 RCA leads for ‘zero latency ‘ you are also bypassing the safety.
Hi i have a question, main mix is already up and to headphones is down, but microphone still routes to main out. the mic feedbacks to my speakers. any help?
Yes, Mic will always go to Main Out. switch is for the USB audio coming back from the PC.
Brilliant class prospect sir
Hope you can answer my question. If I use phantom power on the Q502usb I get 60cycle Humm into my earphones. This happens with headphone output jack and line out jack if headphone is plugged in to either output.
Faulty unit. There should be no hum, even with or without any microphone connected.
You have what is called a ground loop.
thx ...thatr was the solultion to my problem!
Thanku for the details sir...
The mixer has 15v phantom
How to connect 48v phantom mic in to it..
You need an external +48V Phantom power unit like Behringer Micropower PS400 Phantom Power Supply between the microphone and the mixer. Watch this video for details th-cam.com/video/Sz7uxN1JQ_M/w-d-xo.html
OMG THANKS!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!
Amazing! Thanks so much - this was driving me mad.
Glad it helped!

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
Thats what i want... 🙏
Great video! Thank you !
If I use the panning method on my Q502USB when I sing and play guitar together, could I separate it on DAW?
For example: I pan my mic on channel 1 to left. And pan my guitar on channel 2/3 to right. And when I sing and play guitar together, what will I hear o the speaker/headphone, will my voice only on left speaker/headphone and my guitar on right speaker/headphone?
Yes, that is the only way to record mic and line input 2/3 on seprate tracks i your DAW.
Hi, this is excellent. I hv just bought a Behringer 302USB as I wish to Karaoke live stream on FB live. My set up will be mic (for vocals) through the main Mic port, and tracks input from an iPhone on to LINE RCA ports.
Can you briefly tell me the audio routing options from the Behringer 302USB (or 502 USB) to a laptop, for live streaming, such that I can hear the mixed output on my Monitoring headphones as well? Thanks !
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 th-cam.com/video/9w9ovvHmlEc/w-d-xo.html
Question: If I hook up my USB mixer to my Ipad and use garageband or any DAW software to capture the incoming live performance sound/signal from mixer and then use Airplay to send the sound wirelessly out to a speaker and not necessarily for recording, but just strictly using the captured the sound from the mixer onto the Ipad so I can Airplay it to the speaker. Can I do this while having all speakers on loudly without worrying about any feedback? or Can I do this at all? Thank you.
Can you use this unit without needing the USB? I just want to use it with a Mic and keyboards into my 4 track tascam recorder
Yes, you don’t need to use the USB. RCA connection works best for 4 track TASCAM.
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.
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
Hi. Congratulations, the video is very interesting, but being Italian I didn't understand much, and I can't follow you from the figures. I have a beringher 1204 usb fx, connected to my desktop PC via usb cable. my inputs in the mixer are: microphone via cannon cable and stereo input connected to the pc output for music and backing tracks. finally headphones connected to the headphone output of the mixer. One question please: why am I not hearing the properly selected reverb effect on headphones? (if I remove the headphones it is heard regularly through speakers). I tried activating and deactivating the various keys, but nothing. I am desperate. I need it to sing by connecting the mobile phone to the mixer. If you can kindly help me, I would be grateful to you
Hey man thanks for the video. In stead of doing the rca to rca in and output. Can I route another instrument or piece of hardware , etc. to rca in and then rca it out to another speaker or sampler or whatever. Like to have a separate out ? If you could let me know it would be appreciated. Thanks
@Behringer should add a button for thes feature...
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
What if you are connecting the USB from the Q502 to a music server that feeds the speakers through a amplifier?
Hi, I'm watching you video with great interest but I have a different problem.
I am a radio broadcaster. The thing is I broadcast from home using Barix annuncicom 100 as intercom connecting me to the radio station via internet. I achieve great result as if I'm sitting the studio at the station.
The problem is I have a co-host who called in to my iphone, which I plug in the input slot on my xenyx q502usb. I also achieve very good result, we -- my co-host calling in plug in from iphone and myself both sound mixed by xenyx q502usb sending via Annuncicom 100 to the radio station.
The problem is because I plug in iphone into one of the input slots, the sound from the mixer doesn't get sent back to the phone. My voice, while chatting with the co-host get through to the iphone from the iphone microphone and not from the microphone I plug into the mixer.
On top of that, my co-host cannot hear any sounds from the radio station; i.e. the jingles and so on. Someone suggested me get lighting jack to USB camera for iphone, which I did and I plug this into xenyx q502usb via USB port, it also doesn't work. The sounds travel one way, either in from the iphone or out to the iphone.
What should I do to also get sounds to and from iphone, via either USB or any other channel from xenyx q502usb?
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have Audacity software. I am able to get sound through my headphones. I'm trying to record voice for a TH-cam video. I am unable to get sound from my speakers and I NEED TO. I have mixer going into "Mic" on puter and the speakers are plugged into the "Out" on the puter. ANY HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED.
I assume you have the non-USB version of the mixer? Use 2 x RCA (L+R) into a stereo 3.5 plug to connect mixer RCA input/output into your PC in/out. Connect speaker onto the mixer MAIN output.
