    Pros and Cons: card vs simple cable MIDI to PC adapter ?

    The reason Im asking is that Im deciding between getting the cable for $20 bucks , or a used Midiman MM-401 card for $5 .. the card is cheaper for me but Id rather not tie up any extra recources on the PC.. Seems like it should offer some benefit (although maybe more complication/problems?)...

    Pros and Cons: card vs simple cable MIDI to PC adapter ?

    Im wondering what the pros/cons/difference in using a card like Midiman MM-401 as opposed to a simple cable that connects to the joystick port, for MIDI to PC connection... Im guessing that the card would use up extra PC recources (besides just a port)? but the cable wouldnt have extra features...

    modify cable to use insert jacks as just sends ??

    I dont know if this is how all mixers are but if the insert jacks are: tip=send , and ring=receive/return , will it still work using a mono cable? thanks

    Are there any mixers that return Aux to each channel?

    the insert/returns dont cover that.. they only allow one effect on each channel that way.. that doesnt allow easy selection and mixing of multiple Auxilliarys back into each channel (and without repatching cables) thanks

    modify cable to use insert jacks as just sends ??

    If the tip and ring of a TRS-to-mono cable were soldered together, could it be used to send/get a signal from a mixer channel while keeping the channel flowing uninterrupted ? (without having to return an external signal to the channel..) thanks

    Are there any mixers that return Aux to each channel?

    Ive been wondering if there are there any mixers in existance (old or new) that can return Aux to each channel (rather than just mixing the aux sums to the main channel ...) thanks

    I have a Tascam 688 mixer/8track that Im trying to figure out how to add a lot more auxilliary loops to.. The 688 has TRS insert jacks for the main channels. I was thinking of using them for adding more auxilliary(effects loops) by connecting those inserts to the inputs and direct outputs of...

    Mixer types and Auxilliary , Questions

    Are there any types of mixers that mix the auxilliary return for each channel (effects returns) _within_ each channel and will send the mix out the direct outs ? (rather than only mixing in the Auxilliarys at the master mix or end of the mixer... are most or all mixers like this ?)...

    Rackmounting, to isolate or not to isolate ???

    Im wondering about rackmounting stuff.. would it always be better to having each rackbox isolated? What are the advantages and disadvantages of having all rack boxes connected to to the same piece of metal? If some rack module vibrates/hums (physically) does it make everything else vibrate and...

    equipment surface is "electrified" when plugged into home sterio reciever . WHY? help

    thanks I think it was just the extention cord I was using was backwards (both prongs are same size so it was hard to tell which way to put it..) not the wall recept wired backwards.. Is that the usual/common/best way to ground things- running a wire to that center screw?
