I am need of 8 budget pres to fill up my 1010lt for use on drums. I am leaning towards getting a mixer and trying to figure out how things get connected. Above are pictures of two mixers I might be buying. As far as I know you hook up your mics through the XLR's. Then buy a male 1/4 to what ever (in this case rca males because of the 1010lt) y-adapter. The male 1/4 side goes into a channel insert. Which makes on side of the Rca input and the other Output. Figure out what is which and hook it up to one ofthe input/output tracks on my 1010lt. Is this correct?
Why is there a mic and line insert on the Yamaha mixer but not on the Mackie?
On the Yamaha which one would you hook up the y-adapter to, the mic or line level insert?
I am still confused how an insert becomes an ouput so if you also have time to explain feel free.
If you look at the 2 Channels farthest to the left and above the XLR (Which I think is channel 9/10/11/12) the inserts change to something diffrent. I really can't make it out but I think it says mono. Can they still be used as seprate tracking channels to my sound card?
Now if you still with me after all thoose question and feel like answer a few more the feel free to
How much of a diffrence is there between the pre's on the Mackie and Yamaha mixers?
The Yamaha mixer looks like it has a lot more options and is a little cheaper but if the mackie pres are "THAT" much better should I just go for a Mackie?
Well any info will help and thanks for your time.
