HI! I have a toneport ux2 from line 6..it only has two inputs..so i was wondering if there were any way to get a cheap mixer, like this http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Behringer-Eurorack-UB1002-Mixer?sku=631237

that has two mic inputs and take those two inputs and send it somehow to my line 6 toneport's first input. that way, i could use three mics instead of only two..is this possible?

on the line 6 toneport, there are either two line inputs or two mic inputs..I'm thinking if i can get that mixer, somehow get the output from that mixer into one line input on the toneport, it'll work..

has anyone done this before???
 
Yep, that should work. But now the mics will be going through two preamps (one in the mixer and one in the toneport) so they'll be much hotter. You'll have to watch the gain.

And I'm sure you know this--you won't have 3 signals at your computer--just the two toneport outs (I'm assuming it has 2). The two that go from the mixer to the toneport's one in will be mixed at that point and won't be separate signals. So you'll have to have 'em mixed right on the way in.
 
I am not familiarwith that mixer but. Take your gtr or mic or wahtever source and plug it into the mixer ch 1. and channel 2. pan both to the left (or right) then send mixer output left (or rt depending which one you chose) and plug into whicever single input on destination device. Hope that helps. PS get a bigger mixer say 4 input type or more depending on budget. I use a cheap behringer ub sommthun. ub 1202. cheap and helpful I jsut wish it had more insert send opportunity. I may post on this later.
 
maybe i could use the rca "tape out" into a single 1/4" input into the toneport?
 
Again, that should work. Just watch out for your gain (volume) levels...
 
will this compromise audio quality? i'm gonna use it for two drum overheads mixed into one signal...

Click to expand...

You will lose the drum separation (left vs. right) of the two drum overheads. What are you using the third mic on? If the third mic is for the kick or out in front I'd try mixing the 3rd mic with one of the overheads. This way you can retain the drum separation of the overheads.
