Hi,
My soundcard's inputs (terratec EWS88) are unbalanced and my mixers outputs (i'm using the inserts, to pick up a seperate signal from every channel) are unbalanced aswell.
Is it recommended to use a patchbay to route my channels? It's very convinient, but I don't know about quality loss a noise. I'm not using outboard gear so I will only be using "mixer out -> soundcard in".
Are the cables too long, and are there too many connectors that could pick up hum ? or isn't that too important on "line level" signals.
I do have 4 (balanced) busses out on my mixer, is there a way to convert the bal. signal to an unbal. signal, so my unbalanced connection will be limited to distance between "the convertor" and my soundcard, instead of the long cable runs...
Ps, I'm not talking about mic signals, I connect those directly to the boards preamps.
I hope you understand what I'm trying to ask, my english isn't very well
tnx and greetz
