How to use a Behringer 1204FX mixer for live sound reinforcement

Hey guys I need some help. I use the Xenyx X1204usbfx for live djing and Karaoke. Here is my issue. I use the Phones/Control room output for my booth monitor. For some reason if I use an effect on any channel, (mainly mic delay fx for singers) I cant here the effect through my Phones/Control Room Monitor output. The Main outputs work fine. Effects and all. I can hear everything except the effects. I could use the tape output but theres no control over the volume. Ive tried everything. Mono/Stereo plugs, Main mix button pressed others off and visa versa. Any help would be great. Thanks

Very well done. Clean, concise, to the point with loads of information that was presented well.

Very good. Thanks, mate.

Excellent tutorial. I use this with my students.

very nice video

Thanks!😊

Great information about mixers! Thanks.

Hi I am new to using this mixer. Is Aux 1 a stereo. I am not sure about the Aux return. The Alt 3 & 4 are they Left and Right? Or is each stereo?

Thank you so much for your excellent video.
Your instructions are clear and the demonstration for every knob and button is just awesome
Keep on with your videos!
Cheers!!

nice video

Thank you so much for really detailed but concise presentation. I hope Behringer will use your presentation as an official demonstration of the unit. I was using this for years, but today, I understood every bit of the operation. Grate, keep it up your good work.

Any suggestion as to why all of the sudden my main mix/ VU meter stopped working even if I am getting power to the unit?

Which one is better for karaoke recording at home and occassional karaoke parties? QX1222USB or QX1204? I don't need too many inputs, but I'd like to be able to record the performances too, PREFERABLY, with live voices affected by EFX processor, but the final mix signal sent to the computer without effects.

Great video man loads of info

Hi, does anyone know is it possible to record vocals where there effects recorded too. I mean what you hear in headphones the same sound is recorded?

hi there i wonder if you could help me .. should i be able to hear the effects through the headphones when using mic 1 channel 1 and the controlls both at 12 any help gratefully accepted as i think my unit is faulty and need to return it as its new ..thanks

Hi how can I use the effects in DAW for live performances as q1204 doesn’t have inbuilt effects .. thanks

Excellent explanation that I can easily transfer to my desk. Thanks.

I have same Behringer mixer and your video was a grate lesson. Please keep up your grate work. Many Thanks.

If only the people using these actually understood all this - there are far too many crap sounding gigs these days.

Great Job!

wow excellent.......

Using the Aux 1, what will happen if I use 1/4 TS instead of TRS? Tnx for the video.

I have one too its great , thanks for the video you did a good job ''''

All I can say is - thank you!

Great demo, thanks. 

I don't seem to have reverb in the monitors. Can you please explain how I can achieve that. I saw a video somewhere with those instructions but now can't seem to find it.

If I recall correctly it instructed to use Aux Send 1 out to the monitors (which are daisy chained) and to connect a patch lead from Aux Send 2 to L Aux Return 1 ... is that correct. ...or is there a simpler solution?

Cheers.

Since the mic inputs are mono does that mean it will only come out of one ear? Or does it mix into both?

Why can't my Behringer drive my Yamaha sound bar? THanks

An excellent explanation

Excellent

This is by far the best instructional video I've found on using a Behringer mixer. My model is a slightly different, but the information that you presented still covers almost everything I wanted to know.

You did a fabulous job! Thank you so much!

so each channel level and master level should always be setter to 0, while setting (maxing out) the input gain level without clipping?

Excellent lesson. Thank you.

is this a mono jack or stereo jack to use for a sub mixture and should another mixture also be usb mixture or normal mixture without audio interface can also be used?

Were would u plug in the guitar and amp for live performance? Thank u

Mr. Jackman is that you?! Seriously, this was incredibly helpful! Thank you!

This video is really useful, the 1204 can be quite confusing, I'm glad I have one but watching this video has cleared so much up for me. Thanks

If i have this mixer and a USB microphone where would I hook it up at to the mixer?

My 1204FX Mixer is a brand new When I push in The "MODE" push button the very big loud buzz sound come out even though all volume is at the Minimum level, is it my mixer is defected or I did something wrong please advised Thank

the model of mixer i have is Behringer 1204 is it possible to add the same effects that you have? like for the echo? on live sessions? i cant access it? can you help me please? hoping for your response

thank you so much my freind alot of information

Hi,
In a bedroom studio setup where Mics, monitors and headphones exist within close proximity (i.e: no dedicated vocal booth)..

is there a way of driving sound to headphones only (during vocal recording ) without going through a connected set of monitors?

I had a smaller mixer and the only way I could isolate sound away from my monitors was by physically disconnecting them from the mixer... And then reconnecting them during playback...

Cheers

Yes, terrific demo. Others say "demo" but you actual DEMONSTRATE it. Can you or someone answer a question for me? What happens if I connect this to a USB port on my PC? Long story short, I messed up the onboard sound and have it disabled now. I do have a Tascam US-122 interface and I just bought a Behringer U-Phono Ufo202 Usb Audio Interface. So would I have to use one of those or could I just go direct USB?

I'm a projectionist at a movie theater that hosts a lot of private events, presentations, etc., that require multiple mics set up through the cinema speakers for our clients. I wanted to tell you this video has been an absolute godsend. I had no idea how to use the mixer properly until I looked up tutorials and followed yours to the T; I've finally been able to cut out/minimize all the pesky feedback issues that have been plaguing me! Thanks! Much appreciated.

You don't know what a valuable find this is for me! I've had this mixer forever, but am configuring a new (for me) home studio and thought I might be able to use this for its preamp capability since I currently have no other external preamps and have just discovered that I need one. I'd like to send the signal from the Behringer 1204FX into my outboard dbx-266xs compressor, then route it back into the mixer; then into the Behringer FCA1616 audio interface and finally into the computer. Would this be the correct signal chain? Thanks loads!

Solid presentation mate cheers

can you hear FX in headphone output?

what if some mics require phantom power and others dont? Do i turn it on or off?

Thank you very much for all the details. I have learned a lot!

how come you put the faders right up like the mixers dont have any drive
