Hi All,
I just bought an older 414 which does not have XLR connectons. I currently have all my mics plugged into a Mackie mixer. Here's the question. In the manual it states you can plug a mixer into the Sub inputs on the back of the 424 but that it goes directly to the master fader. It seems to me that this would bypass the tracks. Can I just hook the L and R main outs of the mixer to the track 1 and 2 inputs of the 414 or is this a problem? A second option is to go into tracks 5/6 and 7/8 but Im really sure how this works My idea is to just record tracks one and two with background and then go to three and four for the vocals. The only other option I can see is to buy 1/4 plugs for my mics and then go into the line inputs for the tracks. Bear with me guys, I'm just learning.
Thanks
