I bought recently a used Behringer X1222usb for EUR 150.- and I do like it very much

However I also have a Belkin RockStar 5-Way (costs around EUR 10.-) for "quickies" ....

Hi, thanks Chris,... I will get a very simple Behringer MX400 Mixer, just to make some tries

Then I will see if I get more specialized on this apassionate music stuff, to look for a bigger Mixer

USB TO PC how many channels at a time can you record? 2 or 4 ?

and is the mixer any good? looks ok to me and im just getting some new cheaper stuff as starting back up

thanks

I do not use USB to PC but to my knowledge it is 2 channels only.

To your 2nd question: I have it just a few weeks but so far I do like it very much!
Before that I had the xenyx 1002 which was simple, cheap and good but the new gear plays definitely in a different league

My main reason to upgrade was having more gear ....

how does the belkin 5 way work?

my speakers have a 3.5mm jack on the end of it

how do you set it up?

i'm assuming i need other cables?

cheers.

i have these plugged into my xone92 mixer, and mixer going into line-in on PC.

the sound for the bass is mono, the sample is stereo...

though the sound for both is very muffled and distorted.

what is wrong?

Check which input sockets you're hooked up to on your mixer and look out for any switches that select between phono and line.You want line input(-phono not good for synths,purely analogue turntables).Thats the first thing to check.
Try some headphones out the mixer to check if the problem is there or further towards your PC input.

Your cables seem like the right ones.there is always the small chance they are broke ,but if you test straight into PC with one Volca and its good,you have ruled that out and narrowed it down to the mixer.
