Hello all!
My name is Daniel and I've recently been doing a lot of research to get into recording my band from home. I think I have a solid, but very basic understanding from YouTube and just being involved in music the majority of my 23 years on this planet, but please correct any naivety I show.
Short of an interface, that I've narrowed down to a couple options, all of our bases (and basses ) were covered until our drummer decided to go out and buy a seven piece mic kit (yay me ). Thankfully he only plans on using five (bass, snare, tom, floor tom, overhead)
Basically, as long as kick and snare have their own tracks, I'll be a happy Daniel. With that being said, I would love for each drum mic to have its own track, but wish in one hand... right? As always funds are about as limited as you'd expect from a 20 something's rock band.
So my first question comes off of my Yamaha EMX62m powered monitor mixer. Am I correct in assuming that the Effect Out is line level? If so, is it also safe to assume it can be plugged into a line-in on an interface? This seems like a dated piece of equipment since the record out is RCA, does anyone know if this record out is also line level? If it is, is it really as simple as getting an RCA -> 1/4" adapter to send the signal to the interface? Would this sound any cleaner than the Effects Out line level?
Second question: Kick mic through balanced input on Mark Bass Little Mark III then DI out into interface? I had this crazy idea last night and I'm just curious if this will blow anything up.
I'm looking to get a firewire interface with two pres. Assuming all works out with the Yamaha mixer and Mark Bass, I plan to send the snare and single overhead through the two pres on the interface, the kick through the bass head, and the toms into the power mixer and suck it up that I can't tweak them separately. I'm open to any and all suggestions!
Thanks in advanced to anyone taking their time to help us!
Cheers!
