Performance and features at a price that will amaze you.
The compact Behringer X1204USB mixing console takes the 1204FX up a notch, providing all the same great features, plus Behringer's 24-bit, dual engine FX processor, with 16 editable, studio-grade presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter and multi-effects. User-definable parameters include reverb time and brilliance, delay room size and repetitions, modulation depth and speed, and much more. The audio mixer's time-based functions can be addressed via a handy Tap button. The most recent parameter settings are always stored in memory.
The Behringer XENYX USB mixers are designed to handle your live gigs, and they provide the state-of-the-art tools you need to make stunning, professional-quality recordings. Along with their built-in USB/audio interfaces, XENYX USB mixing consoles come with all the recording and editing software you'll need to turn your computer system into a complete, high-performance home recording studio.
Sonically Superior Mic Preamps
The Behringer XENYX X1204USB mixers have one thing in common—great-sounding, high headroom XENYX mic preamps. These state-of-the-art mic pres represent a major step in the evolution of audio technology—and they can easily hold their own, even when compared to the most expensive standalone mic preamps. XENYX preamps offer a staggering 130dB of dynamic range, with a bandwidth that extends from below 10Hz to well above 200kHz. Armed with these outstanding mic preamps, Behringer XENYX audio mixers provide such transparent, crystal-clear performance you just might think someone upgraded your mics while you weren't looking.
Sublimely Musical British EQ
The British mixing consoles of the 1960s and '70s changed the sound of rock-and-roll—without them the British Invasion might not have happened. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and producers all over the world. The channel EQ on Behringer's XENYX mixers is based on that very same circuitry, allowing you to imbue signals with incredible warmth and detailed musical character. Even when applied generously, these equalizers exhibit sweet forgiveness and superb audio quality.
One-Knob Compression
Ask professional sound engineers what their favorite piece of external processing gear is and the majority response will be virtually unanimous—dynamic compression. What is compression? Compression essentially limits the dynamic range of a signal, lowering the level of loud sounds and turning up softer sounds, to achieve sonic balance. But applying compression is a delicate art that many novice, and even intermediate, sound techs have great difficulty mastering. Behringer's "one-knob" compression is available on all mono channels and is easy to operate, even for entry-level users. With this one knob, you can easily dial in the perfect amount of compression for instruments and vocals, creating powerful mixes with punch and clarity. This is indeed a rare feature for affordable mixers in this class—but standard on all Behringer XENYX USB mixers.
Effective FX
The X1204USB USB mixer features Behringer's 24-bit dual engine FX processor, with 16 editable, studio-grade presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter and multi-effects. Complete with a highly accurate input meter, these effects can be altered to your personal taste via the Parameter control. Time-based functions can be entered manually by pressing the Tap button in tempo with the music.
Recording Bliss
There was a time when the recording process called for lots and lots of expensive gear, which meant the average musician had to buy time at a recording studio—and that time was pricey indeed. But modern technology has put personal recording well within the reach of virtually anyone with access to a computer. How do you get all that music flying around your brain into your computer? That's where XENYX USB mixers come in. Thanks to the built-in, bi-directional stereo USB audio interface, you can connect any of these mixers directly to your PC or Mac computer via a single USB cable. Now any signal source you connect to the mixer can be recorded directly to your hard drive. Which brings us to software…

You're ready to go live on your PC or Mac computer right out of the box! You also get more than 100 virtual instruments and 50 FX plug-ins, turning your computer into a complete home-based or mobile recording studio from input to output.

Comments about Behringer XENYX X1204USB USB Mixer with Effects:
I own this. It's solid for live sound. It's mostly been used with a 6k watt system to hook up DJ gear for parties.
The built in compressors are helpful for managing your mic levels.
As I've taken a change of pace, it's come off my rig and into my studio. And it's very much out of place. It can only return off the master, so interface options are limited. And it's noisy. Digital jarbles galore. I only use it as a monitor send when I need all the outputs on my Tascam US-1800 for other outboard gear.
The only usable setting I can imagine for the interface would be at a conference or in a church, where you'd want to record the event. But of course you'd need a computer right there as well, with the appropriate software, etc.
The FX are fun. "fun."
It is SOLID, I'll definitely say that. It could probably get tossed through a window and still work.

Comments about Behringer XENYX X1204USB USB Mixer with Effects:
This board does not work smooth via usb recording wise, unless you have the ASIOforall installed!Go to ASIO and download the latest! It will work smooth as ice! The CD that Behringer gives you,is useless as far as the asio drivers. Glitch city!The board is pretty quiet so, am very satisfied with that.True you can only record 2 tracks at once, 1 stereo or 2 mono,but if you have a small studio like I do you don't need anymore since I do guitar, bass, vox, and use session drummer which is a plugin. So basically for around $200.00, you can get this board with an extra 2 year warranty!

Comments about Behringer XENYX X1204USB USB Mixer with Effects:
I bought this amp to add vocal effects to our PA during band practice. It does this task and more. I love using it for recording straight to my computer with the supplied USB adapter, and it is easy to setup and get good sounds. I love the effects that can be added to each individual channel. It is perfect for what I wanted it for, practice and recording a simple demo.

Comments about Behringer XENYX X1204USB USB Mixer with Effects:
Onboard compressor really helps reduce spikes especially when the board is driving lower quality powered speakers. The USB output is only going to drive two channels of GarageBand, which can accept up to 8 channels on other boards.
Comments about Behringer XENYX X1204USB USB Mixer with Effects:
I've had this for a year now, and I would buy this souly for the efects. All professional sounding, and I bought the "behringer U-Control" for like 30 bucks and now I can hookup the mixer to the computer for recording. With this mixer u dont have to have an interface as long as you have this and the u-control. I spilled water all over my mixer by accident, and I plugged it back in and it was good to go. This is just simply an awesome mixer, but it can be REALLY hard to hook it up for recording. I'm using cubase and using the buying the "u-control" is great for audacity (free software) but not so much for cubase.
Comments about Behringer XENYX X1204USB USB Mixer with Effects:
After about 30 minutes getting oriented to this little box, I was connected to Shoutcase and streaming to Second Life. USB made it so easy! The FX works nicely too. I did have to check my preamp gain a little to reduce clipping, but it was very easy.Behringer counts the AUX returns as inputs to arrive at 12 channels, but that's fairly typical of manufacturers. The only criticism I have of quality is that the faders feel a little lose compared to the more expensive boards I've used in the past. But considering the price point, this little guy is a sweetheart.If you're looking for a great solution for streaming music into Second Life, this is it!
Comments about Behringer XENYX X1204USB USB Mixer with Effects:
The board is not too bad. It is fairly configurable and has more inputs/output than most other boards at this same price. It is nice that it has three separate outputs on the back, one for studio monitor speakers, on sub group, and one for the mains with the mains being actual XLR.The biggest thing I don't like is how sensitive it is to clipping. It has the LED meter on it to help dial in the gain on inputs or manage total output volume, but if you notice, the center mark is '0', of which you should be cautious to not go above this. On most boards, you can go almost all the way to 'peak' levels without any clipping or distortion, but not on this board. It produces static if you even start to go north of '0' by very much, well before the red clip indicators come on. If you need a 'solid' board and don't need USB, look elsewhere. If you know what your doing and like the USB side of it, it will work but just know what your in for.
