Hey everyone,
First post here and really the first post ever when it comes to audio recording. My setup consists of a condenser mic and mixer Xenyx Q802USB and a computer. What I'm recording or streaming is game audio, my mic and possibly voice software such as Teamspeak/Discord/Skype or similar.
The way I have it set up today is the mixer takes the mic on channel 1 and that is pretty much it. I do use headphones out of the mixer, so all I can do right now is control my mic volume and the audio level going to my headphones. Overkill with a mixer perhaps, but I want more now
If possible, I would like to be able to control game volume and perhaps voice software volume on the mixer, without it mixing with my microphone input. I just want the audio from my game and voice software to come out of my computer, into the mixer and only go to my headphones while my microphone sound still goes into the computer.
Would this be possible? And if so, how?
My Q802USB have two mic inputs, and two stereo inputs (Channel 3/4 and Channel 5/6).
I'm thinking.. If I can get the game audio out on a separate sound card or in some other way, get it out and plug it into channel 3/4 and do the same for voice software, get it out of the computer somehow and plug that into channel 5/6. Would it be possible to route those two channels to my headphones and be able to control the volume and EQ without those two channels mixing into my microphone audio that goes into my computer? Getting two cheap sound cards won't be a problem for sure, if only I get to listen to the output of them
The output audio of the game and voice software on the computer will be recorded on the computer, so I will have the best quality recorded still. But if I get a little less quality out my headphones, just so I can control the volume on those two audio outputs into my headphones without having to do it in Windows, that would be perfectly fine.
Attaching an image of the mixer so you tech guys, who doesn't have this simple and cheap mixer might get an idea on how to solve my problems, if it at all is possible.
Many thanks in advance!
