Again, no....the Behringers don't have inserts on all channels. It depends on which model you buy.
 
ok then

but, if done the way u described I can do it with this mixer?

But for the sake of asking.

which models do and don't that are in a "budget" range. I can look at specs all day and won't be able to tell.
 
MOST budget mixers don't come with inserts or direct outs. When reading the specs just look for "inserts on mono channels" or something to that affect. Beleive me, if they have them they'll brag about it on the spec sheet.
 
I see

Basically this is going to be for doing band demos.. in all honesty, by premixing the drums into 2 stereo outs, If I take my time and don't rush there shouldn't be any reason why I can't get a good sound right? at least til I can upgrade to something better.

For the sake of giving it a shot can u describe in detail how I would connect everything for the trick u were talking about.
 
Sure. Let's say you have four mics. You put one inside the kick, one on the snare, and two overheads. I'd use the inserts on the overheads (since you can't EQ them) and the ones on the kick and snare coming out of the mains. Now on the insert channels, if you go in to the first "click" or fully seat the connector is really irrelevant. You set the level going to "tape" with the trim pots at the top of the channel strip. That's the ONLY controll that has any function when you're patching this way on these channels. The EQ has no effect on what's coming out of the insert. If any signal from the two channels you're using the inserts on is making it to the mains mix buss, just turn down the Fader all the way on those two channels. The two channels you're using for the kick and snare however DO see the EQ and the Faders and the pan pots. You'd pan those hard left and right, set the trim for proper gain staging, add any EQ you'd like (less EQ is best but that's a whole 'nuther thread) and patch from the mains out to "tape". Now you have Kick in mains left all by itself, snare in mains right all by itself, overhead #1 in an insert all by itself and the same for overhead #2.
 
why dont you just buy a dual outboard pre with 1/4 inch outputs. that way you wont be wasting your money on something you dont already have. those m-audio ones are good and, well, cheap!
 
by the way

TR thanks for trying to explain, it makes a bit more sense now. I'm at work so I am not sitting in front of the mixer to test this out, one more question though. what do you mean by "tape"
 
By tape I mean whatever recording device you use be it tape or computer.
