To use your Mixer FX without recording them you would need to come out of the insert points using them as a direct out. you can't just plug a jack in there for this though...This article explains the options clearly.

So channels 1 and 2 of the mixer inserts connect to the UCA as described in the link and the UCA outs connect to ch 7/8 phono inputs.
So you have DAW playback level adjustment on ch 7/8, mic or line ins on 1 and 2 and can add FX to any channels that will be playback only.

There is one possible issue here and that is the direct outs of the mixer may be a little hot for the consumer level UCA inputs.
I suspect you'll be fine if you don't overdo the gain but maybe try to test one of these connections with your mic first.
I do something very similar. I use the special cable for the d.o. through the insert. Except on the uca outputs I go in through the 2tr and then only send that to monitor. Things have not been working quite right as far as monitoring through headset while singing so maybe I will try the 7/8.
