I'm looking at doing some simple recording at home, and I'm looking to buy a Behringer 1202 12 mixer, or something of similar price or quality. The devices I'll need to record are as follows:
- A digital piano
- A guitar (from the output of an amp)
- An iPad (possibly 2) (for drums, sfx etc.)
What I'm wondering is, which outputs from the mixer do I use? I'd like to do the following with the audio:
- Be able to listen to it live in headphones/monitors
- Be able to send it to main speakers (for a performance)
- Be able to send it to a computer for recording
For reference, here is a picture of the mixer with it's outputs. The mixer has FX send, phones, control room, L/R and CD/Tape outputs - which of these would I use for each of the above uses?
