behringer ub802 mixer wiring question

[distortedrumble]

when recording vocals...how can i get the music to come through the headphones and send the vocals to the main mix and out to the sound card by itself without the other music? i know to use the rca cables and y adapter to get sound from the sound card to the tape inputs and press the "tape to controlroom/phones" button so sound comes through the headphones. but i dont think that would work for what i'd like to do.

Aux sends......

.....if I'm understanding you correctly......

you want to monitor (w headphones) the whole mix including the vocal but want to record the vocal seperately as an overdub.

Send the music mix into one of the stereo ins (either 5/6 or 7/8) and put the mic through a mono channel.

Use either Aux send 1 (pre-EQ)......my choice.....or Aux send 2 (post-EQ)....to the soundcard.

You can track in stereo this way by sending mic 1 thru Aux 1 to the left channel only of the sound card and mic 2 thru Aux 2 to the right channel only of the sound card.

Unless you do the board mod to the 802, then Aux 2 if fixed as post-EQ.

You other option would be to pan the channel the musics on all the way to one side (right) and the vocal channel all the way to the other side (left) and then monitor on the headphone out but only sent the left mix bus to the sound card.

Your better off just using the Aux sends though and you wont have to worry about and crosstalk on the mix buss.

must be a different model than the one i use

i only have 1 aux and it seems to go straight to the main mix.....yes I'm trying to monitor everything and record the vocal track...any other ideas? i have an fx send but I'm not sure how to work it completely just yet
