Hi guys,
So a common theme that keeps me awake at night in preparation for doing drum recording in a month is what equipment I will need so the drummer has the mix coming into his headphones. For background:
I'm recording the drums in an outhouse down the bottom of the garden and then control room will be in the house. I'm buying a 30m stage box (the garden is quite elongated!) so that I can have all the mics (9 total). Equipment wise I'm using:
Logic Pro X 10.3
iPhone with Logic Remote (the outhouse doesn't have wifi so can't use this for monitoring)
Saffire Pro 40 / M-Audio Octane
9 inputs.
What I can't get my head around is how I use the line outputs to go into the stage box (XLR only), to then go into something like a headphone amp for the drummer to plug into. Would I use two line outputs so it's stereo? Do I use a jack to XLR in order to plug into the stage box? Absolutely boggling my mind right now and I have no idea way. This is more a hardware issue as I've figured out Saffire MixControl in order to actually set the mix up. Any help would be really appreciated!!
