Hey Guys, hoping someone tech minded can help me out...

I'm using Skype to broadcast from home and elsewhere through a good mic, and quality is relatively good. Sounds clear through the other side and it's to the point where I want to use two microphones. I'm using an Mbox 2 Mini to power everything up.

Input One [1] works fine, that's with the XLR Socket and i've got an RE-20 hooked up to that.

Input Two [2] has its own microphone set up, and it too works at times. However, the other side can only hear Input 1.

Is there a way that allows both inputs to be recognised and sent back to the computer receiving all this? Cause i'm quite stuck.

Basically they can hear the RE-20, but not the other Mic, but I can hear it through the Headphone Jack at the front.

Help would be greatly appreciated! :)
 
Your problem lies with Skype - as far as I'm aware it only transmits 1 channel of audio.

The only solution is to use a small mixer and to mix your 2 mics together in that, and plu that in to input 1 of your mbox.

I get ya, it's probably limited...is there any other program that allows you to transmit audio to another computer? Surely there has to be another way..
 
Ok so I don't like my chances of the first question being asked as up above this response.

But, I'm wanting to set it up so that any audio that is streamed from another computer, be run through the Mbox?

Currently iTunes works through the Mbox, but Skype won't - it only comes out of the speakers of the Macbook Pro. Is there a fix there? I'm running Mac OS X with Snow Leopard..
 
In relation to your original question I was just wondering if you were aware the Mbox mini only has one mic pre-amp. Input 2 is for a line level signal so you will need a to use a pre-amp or small mixer to use the mic through it.
