I hope this is the right forum, this is my first post, but looking over all of the information I've gathered from other topics, you guys seem pretty knowledgeable.
So, just to clarify, I've been checking the internet for hours and I haven't really gotten a clear answer to my question:
So I'm using an Alesis MultiMix 8, which has 4 XLR inputs going through the preamp, and 4 line-inputs that don't go through the preamp because they're line-level. How can I use those line-levels to record microphones for when I need to record drums? I really need to know before I purchase a tube preamp, and my idea is just that the microphone goes to XLR cable to the preamp, then out of the preamp use a TRS cable into the balanced line-input, and that would be it.
Is this correct, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for all the help.
EDIT: and if running a preamp'd mike through a line-input is not the correct way to do it, how would I run a preamp'd mike through an XLR input on my MultiMix without going through the mixer's built-in preamp (I don't think this is possible?)?? Is there some kind of XLR input that doesn't have an internal preamp?
