    I have bought a Behringer MX602A Mixer. I would like to use it with my
    keyboard and Cubase in the computer. I also would like to use mic and
    electric guitars.
    The Problem!
    When I have a midi-background and try to record a guitar on an audiotrack,
    everything goes in to the track, the guitar plus all midisounds.
    The mixer is connected like this.
    I have connect the computer to the tape In and tape Out, and the line from
    the keyboard to a stereo Input and the guitar to a mono Input. To the mixers
    output I have connected an amplifier and laudspeakers.

    I understand that the problem is, that the computer record everything that
    goes to the Output which seems to be the same as tape Out.

    Please help me!!

    Read the manual. Read the supplied diagram. Think for five minutes about why
    Behringer might have added FX send dials to the channels, and a FX out
    connector.

    And no, you can not use the FX bus in stereo on a 602.

    HTH,
    Dirk

    I already have read the manual and I have spent a lot more than 5 minutes
    thinking about where I should connect everything. I have also tried the AUX
    send and return but obviosly I have made some wrong connection.

    The setup is described in detail (including a wiring diagram) on p.11 of the
    manual, don't know what else someone can tell you:

    AUX/FX send -> Computer line in
    Computer line out -> FX return (or tape in doesn't matter)

    FX send level of the channel you want to record 0dB, all other FX sends
    to -infinity.
    Now you can playback, and only the channel with the 'open' FX send is sent
    to the Computer line in. Crosscheck by routing the FX send to monitor.

    HTH,

    You have to mentally replace the soundmodule with the line out, and the tape
    recorder with the line in of course :))

    I don't understand why you won't download the latest version of the manual
    from the Behringer site.
