    Balanced vs. Unbalanced

    Hi, I just got my new Mackie 1202 VLZ-PRO YEAH! Anyways, I'm going to run out and buy all the necessary connections that I need tomorrow. Now I was going to originally get a few 1/4" mono (TS) connectors with a converter to a stereo 1/8" connector. But in my manual here it says that balanced...

    Mixer connections? Integrating my mixer into my studio.

    Ahhh, I never even considered the fact that the Mic input channels boosted the signal. I can't decide whether to go from the soundcard into a stereo line-in or into the aux return.

    Mixer connections? Integrating my mixer into my studio.

    Ok, so it's not really a studio, it's my PC in my bedroom. Here's what I want to do, and how I think (in my small experience) it should be done. I have a Mackie 1202 that I want to hook-up to my Sound Blaster Live. So here is what I came up with: I will go from the Mackie's main out to my...

    real audio/real producer g2 problems

    ooh, you guys are doing it the hard way. To be able to compress files to Real Audio format you must first rip the cd audio tracks to a wave file (.wav).

    IDE slots all taken...

    All is not lost. One thing you can do is go out and buy a Promise IDE controller card, or any IDE controller card for that matter (I'm partial to Promise) pop it into a free PCI slot and *bang* two more IDE channels for ya.

    Mixer comparions: EURODESK MX802A or the Mackie 1202 VLZ Pro?

    Hi, I'm wanting to buy a mixer board for some home recording. I'll be using my SM-57 mic mostly for classical/acoustic guitar, as well as going direct line-in from my guitar amp. I'll be going from the mixer into my Sound Blaster Live line-in. The Mackie retails for $380, the Behringer Eurodesk...
