#Behringer xenyx q802usb review upgrade
These more powerful versions will provide you more room to expand and you won't have to upgrade too much. Basically, it's a great starters unit, but if you have a few extra bucks, I would recommend springing a more powerful version like the Q802USB or Q1202USB. The one main issue I have with this device is that it is not easy to expand from. It makes recording very easy, and it provides more control over your sound than if you were to just plug into a USB audio adapter (like I do for all my videos). I wish I had it when I was just getting into recording. I think this is a pretty cool little device. Lastly, it has an RCA main mix output, so you can send the audio to an amplifier and hear your mix/recording on bigger speakers. Therefore, I would only recommend using one or the other. I do want to know that, this microphone input is controlled by the channel one faders & knobs. If you have a gaming headset that splits into (2) 3.5mm jacks, this will work. 2-track and USB inputs are assignable to the main mix or the phones output. One is for your headphones, and the other is for a microphone input. The Xenyx Q802USB is an 8-input (2 mic/line 2 stereo line stereo aux return) 2-bus analog mixer with Xenyx mic preamps and compressors Behringers 'British' 3-band EQ and a USB audio interface.

In the upper right hand side of the mixer are (2) 3.5mm jacks. If you are recording vocals or guitar in a DAW, you just want your previously recorded tracks to go just to your headphones, you don't want that stuff re-recorded onto every track.

Directly next to the red button, this option allows you to send channel 2's audio to the mix, or just to your headphones. The first option is fairly self explanatory, but with the click of the red button, the second one allows you to hear your computer is playing. The second channel consists of 2 options. I did notice that there was a bit of noise when I got the preamp above 50%. It has a single XLR input with a 2 band eq and pan fader.

The first thing that I really like about this mixer is that it provides latency free monitoring. Therefore, I want to include the disclaimer BE CAREFUL IF YOU'RE USING A RIBBON MIC WITH THIS!
