Hello all..

I am need to connect my V-Amp Pro to my mixer and the mixer is connected to the sound card on my computer..

Question is... what outputs do I use to connect to the mixer.. I will be recording direct for now.

I don't really want to take up two channels of mic/balanced inputs on my mixer..

So if I go out from the unbalanced 1/4" to the mixer I WILL NOT BE able to use the amp sim?

I am not sure if I HAVE to go out from the Balanced/mic outs to balance/mic inputs to get the amp and cabinet sims..

Thanks for any help.. the manual is fairly vague..
 
Look at the chart on page 10 of the manual [tab 3.1 configurations]. It shows the modes to use depending on which outputs you are using.
 
soo.. if i go by s1.. the first model.. then I can use the unbalanced outputs and get all the amp and speaker sims.. recording direct?

It seems to contradict the other parts of the manual..

That is correct except for the "ultra-G simulation which only works on the XLR outs. If you have an SPDIF input on your soundcard that would work even better.

Outputs? You can use any outputs your mixer has, you might need some converters to get a left and right mono TS cable to an 1/8" headphone jack on the other end for your PC's line in. Does the mixer have tape out's, ie a stereo RCA output? You can get an rca-1/8" cable anywhere. You can also use the headphones jack, which takes a TRS in 1/4 or 1/8" and run it to your PC line in. All you'd need for that is a single TRS cable.

Connect your v-amp to one channel on the mixer. It's a mono signal, and you can pan it hard left or hard right to send it to ONE channel of your main mix, L or R. You can leave it center if you want, but it'll be an identical signal on both L and R unless you have some fx on the board or something altering it after it gets to the mixer. Assuming you're not, recording 2 identical signals is a waste of drive space, so you should just record the L or R, not both. You can tell your daw to just record a mono track off one side.
 
Wouldn't the Unbalanced 1/4inch outs and the xlr balanced outs be analog?

Would there be any benifit to using the XLR/Balanced outs?
