USB connection on nox404

[NLiNcS]

Does the USB connection allow you to record your sets on to a laptop using audacity or something??
Really is not clear in the instructions.
It's the behringer nox404 mixer

Any info or help would be great.

Yes, the USB port is for recording the output of the mixer, and for sending 1 channel of audio from your computer to the mixer.

So it would be a case of downloading audacity or something and connecting it up with the USB lead and away I go.
Will it not only record one channel if it only send music to one channel and is it only mono recording or stereo!!
Hope it is that easy as I'm a total technophobe lol

There's only 1 input so all you have to do is select the NOX as your audio device, and it should pick up everything coming through the mixer's Master Output.

Would just like to say that eventually after my 2-10 shift I have managed to rig up my daughters laptop with audacity & some other program that converts recording to mp3 and literally plugged in my laptop to the mixer via the USB connector and all work as simple as that!
Had a quick spin just messing about south both TTs and testing out the effects and all recorded.
A silly question but does the loudness that is coming out my amp n speakers effect the loudness that audacity will be recording my set?? It's just that I noticed that the little recording I did sounded slightly heavier on base or am I just expecting to much from a free recording program??!!

Anyhow another massive plus point for the beringer nox404 mixer

Your amp and speakers have no effect on the recording. Audacity is as good as any program for recording a simple stereo track, so if there are sound issues it's probably just your mixer.

You can export from Audacity to 320 MP3 using this.
