Hello All,
I have been away for a while which is kinda of good since I have been making a little $ in the studio as well as working live shows. I wish you all a Happy New Year and be-lated X-Mas. Anyways, I have gotten pretty involved with a local live band here. They purchased some equipment about a year or so ago to setup a small recording studio (small meaning gear-wise). I never really got that deep with their gear execpt for running lines and mics in for simple seperate tracking on this little Fostex multi-track recorder they got with some studio bundle for MF or Sweet or somewhere. But I did incorporate a little peavey mixer that I was given a while ago that has 4 XLR inputs with phantom. I was using these strickly for the drummer and running them straight into the computer using sonar while leveling and EQ'ing etc on the little mixer. That was fine for that purpose. Now they have this M-Audio 1010 with 8 inputs straight into the puter with possible 8 channel seperation into Sonar. But !, the 1010 does not have micpres. So today I went over there to try to use the little peavey mixer (4 xlrs , 2 Aux ) to try to rout the drummer into the 1010 while seperating at least pieces of his gear. I ran the first xlr panned hard left and ran a 1/4" to the first input of the 1010 from the left main out and that was fine as well as the 2nd xlr panned hard right to the right main out via 1/4" to thr 1010 2nd channel and tracked in sonar and I got my seperation. But when I tried to run the 3rd xlr using the #1aux via the mixer's aux out to the 3rd line in on the 1010, I could not get a signal from the puter , but I could hear the mic over the main monitors, which run from a stereo channel of the 1010 through channel 1 and 2.
So my ? is, how can I get at least 4 xlr inputs (which this mixer has) to send seperate outputs to the 1010 line ins, for tracking seperated channels?
Also keep in mind that I was going to use the other mixer ( A Fostex multichannel something) and just use 2 channels of it and send then from the mixer using the monitor left and right via 1/4" to the 1010 inputs for an additional 2 more mics (sine the 1010 does not have micpres) but I have to read up a little on that little Fostex multi-track.
? #1 can a mixer with a aux send using a mic as a source send a decent signal to a device that does not have a micpre?
We will stop right here for now .
but please help. My personal console is digital and it only works with adat and tdiff signals which is pretty easy to figure out.
I need some analog ole skool routing advice on this one.
Thanks
Malcolm
