Hooking up a Behringer SX3040

[TascamJimi]

Hey there again folks... time for another silly question. I have here a borrowed Behringer SX3040 to play with for a week..... Being 58 I record totally old school, but with a digital Tascam DP-02. By ' old school' I just mean I use the recorder just like my old Tascam 488 II tape recorder. What I'd like to do is try running a completed mix through this unit. I'm thinking I need to upload into Audacity ( or something similar ) to boost the low levels I recorded at ( the DP-02's digital meters stink ) . At some point I will also use Audacity to put 2 seconds of silence before and after each song. My stupid question is, how do I hook this thing up ?? The DP-02 has RCA outs and effects send and return. It has a digital out and USB, but being the Behringer doesn't utilize those, the point is moot. Logic tells me to run a dual RCA > 1/4 inch cable out of the Tascam into the Behringer, but how do I make the return trip ?? Do I come back into the effects return and adjust each track ? My goal was to run the entire mix through. I don't have an audio interface or anything like that. Again, I'm 58 and recording like it's 1978 !!!
Any help you folks can provide is much appreciated. Again, I learn something from this site every single visit ! I gave up recording 20 years ago to raise a family. Now i'm getting some time back and am enjoying getting back into it !! Having my Son into it is the icing on the cake !!!! Sorry to be so long winded, but I figure too much information is better than not enough !!! :O)

Well, let me say this. If I understand what you want to do (record an old analog signal). In order to use this, you need to run the source and use this as a post processor for the final analog signal to the computer. Now, if I am missing something, and could be since I didn't do any research, you can do the processing in the box aka analog in, processing, digital out (Behringer is processing internally and providing the result set as a finalized file).

I assume it is pure analog, so you have to play source through the Behringer to output the analog signal to a computer. Now that is old school in a new way.

Let me know if I am off.
