hi
im trying to record my band, in particlular the drums.
we have a mg10/2 which has 4 mic preamps.
http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/products/mixer/a_mixer/mg_series/mg10_2/index.htm
we positioned 4 mics on the drums, kick, snare, 2 overheads left and right.
what i want to do is run this into our four track the yamaha mt400.
http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/products/past_pro/multitrack/mt400/
in such a way that the drums all end up on one track on the 4track.
we had trouble deciding which output and input to use on the 2 machines.
what we did was use 2 guitar guitar leads(ie 1/4inch TR) going from the ST out of the mixer in to the inputs of channel 1 and channel 2 of the 4track.
we then proceeded to bounce down(i think this is the term) to track 4 on the four track.
was this the best approach? is there a more direct way, ie avoiding the bouncing?
i should mention that we used the mixer so pan the different cymbals etc to either side and we want it to be like this on the end result.
thanks
james
