Hi, I'm new to these forms. I've had recording gear for about 3 years now and i've been slowly getting better at using the gear. Basically my set up is just a mackie 24 8 bus and a motu 24i. I have 18 channels from the motu going to the direct outs of my mackie.
I've always had everything in the same room but tonight i decided to move the computer, mixer and rack into another room and have the drums amps and what not in another room.
I'm planning on buying a 24 channel snake. It's a carvin SK24 it has 245 xlr ins and 8 xlr returns. I can't post a link because it is my first post. I've had good experience with carvin gear for my guitar so i figured this would probably be good to.
My question is that I'm going to have the mics from drums and bass and wtv going to the snake to the channels on the mixer, but i'm a little skeptical about hooking up my headphone amp. i see that the snake has 8 returnes but there XLR. Do they make an adapter that i can just plug in my headphones to the XLR's on the snake? When i have to go direct from keyboard and bass i'm going to use the TRS to XLR cables but i need some sort of adaptor to hook up the 2/4 inch cables from the headphones to the snake because the headphones won't reach into the control room.
That might have been a mess and the answer might be right in front of my face but if anyone could answer me i would greatly appreciate it.
Thank You, Gabriel.
