louisthebass Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Hi all, Apologies if this has been covered in a previous topic, just not sure how to word it so here goes... I want to be able to link up my notebook to a two channel Behringer mixer so I can play along with a recording on Youtube. Main reason for this is that I want to be able to do everything through headphones as I don't want to upset everyone in the house or the neighbours? I've successfully been able to play my bass and use my drum machine through the mixer so I can practice through headphones, but I would like to be able to add the above option if it's possible? If it is, and anyone out there knows how to do it, that would be cool - if you can explain it like you would to a child, even better as I'm a bit slow at this type of thing . Mods - if this is in the wrong part of the forum, please move.. Edited September 26, 2015 by louisthebass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obbm Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Looks like that mixer has 4 stereo inputs all on 1/4-inch jack. One of those would be ideal for your PC. What you need is a stereo lead which is 3.5mm jack to 2 x 1/4-inch jacks. These are difficult to find so an alternative is a 3.5mm stereo to 2 x phono lead and a pair of phono to 1/4-inch jack adaptors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I have a 3.5 to 2 1/4 jacks that I got from Maplin. I ended up replacing all the jacks on it as they were moulded rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 The Xenyx 1002 has a 2-track input using phono sockets. With levels adjusted from the source (volume out from the laptop..?), no adaptor would be required. Just sayin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Indeed unlike some mixers this has a "2-track to Mix" to allow the 2-track input to be used an additional source, so just 3.5mm stereo to 2 x phono is all you need Louis.
