[bboysince87]

you dont need all this to make good music

[schehf]

@bboysince87

This stuff is not to make music, is it to capture music.

[anaranjadoX375]

so, what kind of ixer are you using? What do you recommend for me for recording and performind?

[schehf]

@anaranjadoX375

We use the one in the back you see: Mackie d8b.

What you should use depends on what you are recording and how.

was genau sit jetzt tape return? also ich habs bis jetzt immer so gemacht das ich meine monitore / kopfhörer einfach an mein interface angeschlossen hab. mach ich da was falsch oder was bringt das überhaupt? :D

@gwugluud most studio consoles have an input section and monitor section seeing as you have to have proper levels to not distort the recording. the live console on the other hand is input only, since youre mixing for yourself and the audience simultaneously. thats really the biggest difference but you can use them interchangeably, but its more difficult with a live mixer in a studio set up

[Downbeat1984]

@fallingindrive need a pre amp of some kind to boost the mic level signal to line level, or to get a very weak signal up to a loud one. pre amps can help color the sound to alter tonal quality, if you want. some can be very clean and help to capture really the tone of the instrument itself or you can add more color if its tube driven for instance but really, the purpose is to boost the mic level up. some units have eq and dynamics in the same chassis and are called channel strips. hope it helps!

[fallingindrive]

What is the exact importance of the pre amp? does it compress the sound to give it proper clarity?

I MISS WIERD AL-YANCKOVIC LOLLLLLLLLLL

[gwugluud]

I have a home studio based around mainly a tape ADAT (8 tracks). Also I have a Boss digital rig...I use it just to master CDs and for the USB, as I like analog mixers better... I'm looking to replace my worn-out Mackie CR-1604. I'm looking into the Behringer Xenyx line. These are billed as "live" mixers, although they do have post-EQ direct outs per channel. What, then, would keep these from being suitable "studio" mixers? Thank you, Sir.

[gwugluud]

@wertaw Yeah, not everybody talks like they do in Oklahoma. Shocking, huh? Well, I'll let you back to your meth lab...
