So, originally we had a set up for recording/playing in my man-cave that consisted of mics/instruments plugged into a Mackie 120 vlz, then ran the Main Outs 1/4" to an adapter, that connected to the Line-In of the Roland BR-600 recorder. Then ran the
This worked fine enough for recording (single track at a time) Line Outs of the BR-600 to acoustic guitar amps. Sound wasn't that great, but was good enough at the time. Then we got some Roland electronic drums, and that sounded like crap through the guitar amps.
Recently picked at an inexpensive PA. Sound quality is 1000x better, however now I'm issues getting the BR-600 back in the chain. The Main Outs from the mixer, now go to the QSC Amp. I tried the Control Room out from the mixer to the Line In of the BR-600, but that produces an AWFUL noise! Forgot to mention, ran the audio out of the BR-600 to AUX of my stereo system, which "should" allow for playback, while recording additional track. I've tried a few other options, 1) Tape Out from mixer to Line In of BR-600, 2) AUX Send from mixer to BR-600, 3) Split Main Outs from Mixer to Line In of BR-600. I either get that AWFUL noise through my stereo, or nothing at all.
This is getting really annoying. What am I doing wrong. I know very little about this stuff, and what I do know has been trial and error.
I'm wondering if it could be wrong cables from mixer to to BR-600 (well to the 3.5mm adapter at least). Balanced or Unbalanced cables? If so, which should they be, and how do I identify which they are?
I'll buy whoever helps a "virtual" beer!
