I have a analog mixer would like to connect it to a audio interface. The purpose of this is for social media live streaming. I'm eyeing the focusrite 2i2. Drum mics, guitar, bass keyboard and 3 mi. I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface and a Yamaha MG16/6FX mixer and I am considering to use the Scarlett 2i2 as an interface to a condenser microphone (to be recorded using the USB out). My question is, how should I connect the output from the audio interface to my mixer? The Scarlett 2i2 has a stereo L/R balanced TRS jack. Ok so to confuse things slightly.technically a USB mixer IS an audio interface however for this section I am comparing a USB mixer and dedicated audio recording interface. Audio Interface. An audio interface basically acts as an external soundcard.

About this video
In this video, Radio Zane of Simple Green Tech looks at how to use audio mixer to audio interface. It’s not really an audio interface vs mixer video but more so using the sound mixer with an audio interface. I use to Behringer Mixers in this video: The Behringer Xenyx 1002 and the Behringer Xenyx 502. The audio interfaces used are the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and the Behringer UM2. If you’ve been wondering how to connect your Behringer Mixer to your audio interface this video will show you 3 ways. I hope this helps with your audio mixer setup.
Referring to your article in Q&A from SOS January 2007, regarding a basic home recording setup, can you connect the Yamaha MG102C, which you suggest, to a PC directly? If so, how?
The output section of a mixer may have a number of different connectors (this Yamaha MG102 only uses jack sockets), so you'll need to have the correct cable to interface with the PC input. Via email
News Editor Chris Mayes–Wright replies: To get the audio from a mixer (or any source) directly into a computer, you'll need some kind of audio interface — also known as a soundcard. It's likely that your computer has an 'on–board' soundcard, and yours may have line and/or microphone inputs on mini-jack connections. If this is the case, you can simply plug the outputs of the mixer (in this case either the Stereo Out, Monitor, Rec Out or Aux Send) into the input of your on–board soundcard. You'll obviously need a cable with the relevant terminations. If connecting from the quarter–inch jacks of the MG102C to a mini–jack line input of your PC soundcard, you'll need two mono quarter–inch jacks on one end of the cable and a stereo mini–jack on the other. From here, almost any audio recording package should be able to 'see' the incoming audio.
An alternative would be to purchase an external audio interface, and you can get these from around £50. Not knowing your specific requirements, I can't really recommend one that will best suit your needs, so I suggest visiting our on–line Forum, www.soundonsound.com/forum, where you can post questions.
