I would not personaly use that mixer if you are after a good recording. I am very familiar with those as I was a Yorkville dealer back when it was made in the 90's. The S/N ratio was not great and it was never intended to be used in a studio. They will most likely be a high noise floor. But you could give it a try as in a pinch on a budget it may get the job done
Most important is it is not a good idea to run the mains power amp without a speaker load. Put it in Main A-B mode so you can use the monitor send.
so what you would do is have the system hooked up as a PA and turn the master all the way down. Don't use the mains output send.
Use the Efx send at the top (blue knobs) for your left output
Then the Mon send next down ( green knobs) for your right output
You can pan mikes in the stereo field buy adjusting these. Both up would be centre.
What you also need to know is I'm pretty sure the EQ section ( worthless anyhow) will not effect the monitor send and possibly the EFX send.
The EFX send will be post fader so you will have to turn the Red knob up too.
The Monitor send is pre fader so is independent of the red knob.
