Please bear with me. I just joined this forum because obviously it is aimed at what I'm trying to achieve. Hopefully I'm welcome.
My gear:Comp, AMD athlonIIx2 270 processor 3.4 gh, 4G ram 64bit GA experience G board: Korg pa3x 76 key KB: Arturia keylab49 with AL software.Audioboxusb with presonus studio 2(also comes with headphones and condenser mic) Behringer 802 mixer (at the moment only being used for 2 mics into mixer. Questions later.
IT IS A MESS at the moment so I plan to start again. I'm working in a 3.5x4m room that has lot's of my and my wife's hobby's in it. No chance of any dampening so that's out.
Her reaction to blankets on the wall was to simply stare at me. Case closed.
At the moment, I have the computer desk on east wall and korg on west wall. No good. I plan to viceversa these. The keylab sits on computer desk leaving hardly any room for anything else. My plan is to put it on a small table on west side of computer so that I have a 3/4 square and can use my right hand for it.
This is the help I need.
I should mention that I just bought a set of M-audio monitors. They made a big big difference with the sound over the old stereo with amp that I was using. They were not to bad but the diff is extraordinary.
With the new speakers, I tried leads with rca jacks and then made 2 1/4 jacks direct from korg to speakers. Couldn't hear any difference. Some sites suggest to not use rca at all?
The speakers have both 1/4 input and xlr plus volume.
It appears the zynyz 802 is what I need. I have the two mics hooked up to it on the main out with all xlr leads but the korg end is a 1/8 jack into a 1/4 converter. Should this be xlr also?
How should I get the rest to work. I need the computer to record audio. will it need to go into zynyz.Is all the recording done thru the usb where does the audiobox and keylab leads go. I don't want to blow or damage anything so I'm wary about just plugging at random to see what happens.
I can already see a great garble in this post so I think I'll stop here and see if I get some replies.
My Skype user is in my profile and I am available most EST times.
Thank you for reading.
