I'm going to assume that you mean record from the mixer through the fast track and into the computer. If not, then no it won't work, you need a computer.
However, to get things running with your mixer, just use the inputs on the front. They are combo jacks, meaning they allow XLR or 1/4" connections. You didn't mention the model of your mixer, but I assume that it has a main or alternate out that uses 1/4".
You plug one end of the cord into the left (or #1) output of the mixer, then plug the other end into the first input on the front of the Fast Track. Then take one end of a 1/4" cable and plug it into the right (or #2) output of the mixer, then plug the other end into the second input on the front of the Fast Track.
This is the stereo connection between the two devices.
Basically, what will happen is you will have "mixing" ability using the actual 32 channel board, but remember, only a left and right channel stereo mix will be coming into your computer. This means that you will not be able to separate the 32 channels in your software without recording them separately (which is not a problem at all, it just takes more time).
If your mixer has a s/pdif output, you may be able to get more inputs, but if it does, try connecting the output of the mixer to the input of the Fast Track (s/pdif). This will be where knowing your mixer comes into play and most companies have the manual online for free.
One last thing - The 1/4" ports on the back of the Fast Track that are marked "Inserts" are not inputs, they are two-way channels meant for running external devices like reverb. This means don't try to use it as an input cause it won't work. Good luck and also make sure that you know how to set up your software with the Fast track.
Cheers
