Even though most of the tasks in a studio can nowadays be accomplished using 

a computer, a mixing console remains an unavoidable piece of equipment that 

lets you effectively manage audio inputs and outputs: microphone signals need 

to be pre-amplified prior to being recorded, and the quality of microphone 

sound is often worked on; recording and playback signals must be routed to the 

appropriate connectors or integrated into the mix; the volume of headphones 

and studio monitors needs to be adjusted, and so on. The extensively equipped 

main section of the XENYX mixing consoles provides concrete benefits to you.

Wiring:
Connect your sound sources to the microphone/line inputs of the mixing 

console. Connect the master machine (DAT/minidisk recorder) to the 

main outputs. Your monitor speakers are connected to the control room 

outputs; the headphones are connected to the headphone output. 

Now, connect the CD/tape outputs to the sound card inputs on your DAW 

(Digital Audio Workstation). Connect the outputs of the sound card in your 

computer to the CD/tape inputs.

Recording and playback:
Once in the mixing console, the recording signal is pre-amplified, EQ’ed and is 

then routed to the main bus. Use the LEVEL control to adjust the recording signal 

level. The overall level of the signal going to the computer is adjusted using 

the MAIN MIX fader. To make sure that the signal is actually being recorded, 

use either the phones bus or the control room bus to monitor not the main 

mix signal (i.e. the output signal of the mixing console, before the recording); 

instead, monitor the returns of the sound card that is connected to the CD/tape 

inputs. To this end, press the CD/TAPE TO CTRL switch and adjust the monitoring 

volume using the PHONES/CONTROL ROOM control. Doing so, you can record 

additional tracks in addition to a signal already brought in (so-called overdubs). 

Use the direct monitoring function of your DAW.
