I plug my Roland R-07digital recorder into Rec Out of the Behringer

the club where my band plays. Is the recording I get a fair
representation of
what the audience is hearing through the mains? If, say, the banjo is too
loud and my vocal too soft on the recording, is that probably the way the
audience perceives it?
I am an audio rookie, and the guy who runs the sound isn€„¢t very
informed about the rig and doesn€„¢t know what audio is coming out of
Rec Out or, if it is controllable, how to control it.
Thanks for help and patience.

Roughly yes.
The bits that may different to what the audience hears are the
characteristics imparted the speaker(s) and room, and to a hopefully
lesser degree, amplification. And any audience/room/hvac/etc noises.
Short of hanging some high-quality mics is a great position, that's the
best you'll get. And even the, give those previously mentioned
variables, that may actually be not as good as the Rec Out signal.

...... but of course this depends on the nature of the gig and what is
actually going through the PA in the first place.
If 'everything', and the stage sound in insignificant, then Rec Out may
be fine.
If, say, only vocals and a few selected other items are going through
the PA, then the mic approach is necessary to capture the whole picture.
