HELP recording with behringer xenyx 2442fx into Logic??

Hey,

So i recently got a Behringer XENYX 2442FX mixer and I am trying to record drums into Logic pro.
The mixer came with a usb interface which takes two red & white L R cables.
I am trying to record into Logic however from reading other things online I'm starting to doubt that that is possible?
If anyone could give me help asap it'd be greatly appreciated as If i need to send the mixer back and get something else that will work, i'll need to do that quickly!
thanks again

Macbook pro, Mac OS X (10.5.6), 2.5 GHz Intel core 2 duo/4GN 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Your mixer is an analogue mixer, so you'll need an audio interface. You only mention a USB interface, but it would help if you could find what type it is - MIDI or Audio? What is it called? Could it be this one?

When describing cables, the only thing that really matters is the type of connector... 😉

If this is how it hooks up... then no.. you cant seperate the drums with it because your coming out of a feed that is the stereo track.. into the interface... theres no possible way with that set up that it could seperate the tracks out. You just need an interface with enough I/O's to feed into logic.. like a Motu... then you just need a mixing board that you can use to control logic and I think that would be ideal for recording drums.. but really if you dont mind mixing in the computer you dont even need the mixing board to record the drums if you have a sizeable interface... anyways.. thats my 2 cents.. hope that helps a lil
