6 mic mixers...

[xX_selkiesteo_Xx]

is it possible to hook this up to a computer?

i think it might work through guitar port if i connect it through there... not sure, never had one, but my bro had one through guitar port once and it sounded ok

is it even a good one... please find me a better one if you can... i need 6 mic inputs at least though, and i want it for recording

will it work? yes, kinda. but you'll only be able to record in stereo (two channels, left and right) with that one. if that's ok, then go for it... otherwise, find yourself a Mackie board.

how much money do you have to spend???

[Sharkey Boy]

Do you need more than stereo?

[Senseless Apprentice]

How do you hook that into your computer? (Since its not USB or Firewire?)

I also made a recording thread that you could check out. It's in the general forum entitled "thinking of home studio" or something of that nature.

You can connect this mixer to the computer using xlr, rca or 1/4" connectors or any combination of adapters.

Which port on the computer would I use?

[othankheavenfor311]

you would have to buy a new sound card probably...

unless ur sound card has a red and white in (RCA)

EDIT: and by the way, you wont be able to multitrack

[Senseless Apprentice]

Ahhh I see what your sayin. Let me ask this now... When it comes to multitracking.... Can't I just adjust all the levels of my drums on my mixer? And so when I have my stereo track sent to my PC, I would have it mixed the way I wanted? Is it more complex than that? I am trying to see the huge disadvantage to lack of multitrack, and so far I am only seeing small little problems.

Yes you can do that, but say you record it, but you don't like how it sounds. You played perfectly fine, outstanding even, but now you have to adjust one level and record all of it again. You won't have the flexibility with multitracking on the computer.

That's misleading. He might assume he'll automatically have each channel individually laid out neat and nice in an easy little program on his computer which, with most Mackie mixers, is not the case...at least not right out of the box.

the trick there is you have to have the mix in your mixer PERFECT. say you play your song perfectly, but the EQ on the kick was a little off - guess what? you get to redo the whole thing.


mostly, anyway.

sorry for not replying, i havent been on the comp in a while... but i was thinking up to 300, and i already have a guitarport...

HERES A CRAPPY DIAGRAM OF HOW MY BRO USED TO HAVE HIS

basically, 6 mics hooked to a mixer and the line out hooked throuigh guitarport and recorded on coll edit pro, but thats before he bought a 1000+ dololer pro one and moved across the damn country...

i couldnt think of any other way (without buying new stuff) to hook the mixer to my comp
