I have recently aquired both the Mackie 802-VLZ3 Mixer, and the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 sound card.
My question is how do I connect them together in order to record onto my computer. I have read a load of forums, and I think I'm getting lost in terminology. All I need to know is what lead goes from what part of the mixer to what part of the sound card.
The sound card has Audio In (L & R), and Audio Out (L & R), as well as a breakout cable for midi & spdif (god knows if I know what on earth that means).
I don't use midi at the moment, I only record audio (guitar & vocals), and I just need someone who is prepared to talk to an idiot to help me out.
If there is any information that I haven't included that I need to, please let me know.
Thanks,
Chris
EDIT: I have now read that my Alt 3-4 outputs should go out to the Audio Ins on my sound card. Any truth in this? Or is there a different way that I should be doing things?
