Behringer XENYX X2442USB Premium 24-Input 4/2-Bus Mixer with XENYX Mic Preamps & Compressors

I have this Mixer. But I'm unable to connect this to PC. Can anyone suggest me how to connect it to PC?Preyas Sangeet

I think this is a great mixer. It's my second Behringer mixer. My previous one, a UB1204FX was used almost daily for 10 years. It's still going strong, but is just a bit too small for the needs of our band. I use the X2442USB for recording and as a live desk for my band. It's a great design and offers all that I need from a mixer. The thing with gear like Behringer is that it has to be judged in the context of it's target application. Affordable stuff like this just didn't exist a few years ago, so for gigs we would all be plugged into some massive 4 channel Peavey or HH PA heads which might have a spring reverb if you were lucky. Home recording was on a cassette porta-studio if you could afford it. Now with gear like this we can get pro-quality functional gear at a very affordable price. I am an ex sound engineer who spent many years in recording studios in the 80's and 90's. In those days only huge SSL desks had compressors on every channel, and many of the 'pro' digital reverbs we had didn't sound as good as the effects on the X2442USB. The effects are a little noisy, but quite useable if driven hard enough, more than good enough for live applications. I really like the compressors, not much control, but the settings are a good compromise of attack and compression ratio. EQ is functional and adequate. I tend to use plug-ins on my DAW for recording anyway. Direct channel outs are a great addition, and 4 aux sends is a luxury. It's just a really well designed desk which covers everything I need t for. Sure it's no Neve, it's not as quiet and has more crosstalk than the real pro stuff, but really, in the pubs and clubs we play, or on the MP3 recordings we make streamed online, i defy anyone to tell the difference.

No idea who designed this, but obviously not a musician.4 aux sends - 1 and 2 offer pre and post fader. 3 bizarrely is a reverb send and 4 is post fader only. Try figuring that our for each musician mix requirements in the dark , on stage, at volume. .mute button is offset, so you dont know what the hells going on. Little black latching buttons means you cant see whats on or off when in use "live"Compressor seems to do nothing at all, other than turnfaders are basically non-linear resulting in "cant hear/cant hear/cant hear/ OH MY F***ING GOD THATS TOO LOUD. You have a micrometer of range on the fader of usable range.THis is the worst mixer I have ever had. Plasticky cheap rubbish . maybe useful on a home studio, but for Live? useless.Avoid.

There is alot of mixer for the price. Very good noise threshold with it. I use it with lots of synths. Effects are not bad but not the best but a small plus. Behringer's reputation for making faulty equipment with poor quality control is completely unfounded. Likely put around by competitors who fear their competitive advantage. I have a lot of behringer gear. In all the years of buying the gear I have only ever had to return one effects pedal. The replacement has worked ever since perfectly. This is a very well made mixer with good components there's nothing cheap about it. The compressors are subtle for inflating the volume per channel.

An excellent mixer for the budget home studio, I feed it 8 mono and 4 stereo signals from two motu soundcards (pre-recorded or direct from various synths and drum machines) to do live mixes onto either external recorders or back into the computer. It also handles various external effect units via its returns and insert ports, I record everything back into the computer using the 2 track analog outputs (the USB output is only 16bit whereas you can use the analog outs and benefit from 24bit off a better soundcard). No issues so far, build quality is OK, the mutes and pre buttons mechanism feel a bit frail, time will tell. A very versatile tool with a decent price, good fun to use for that dub classic style mixing

i was a bit baffled to start with and nearly returned it, as i am old school analogue mixer friendly.but once i had figured out why i had no sound output, and the reason was mine.... then i couldnt get myself off it.got my computers running through it and intend taking it out for some jam sessions, only thing i dont like is the effects are hard to control... no doubt i will eventually get to grips with all the controlls.
