Maybe not the right place but did i get tricked? I have a Soundcraft Notepad 12FX and i wanted to be able to use my mixer with the guitar and mic connected when i was a guest at someone's live at TikTok. I know i can use it with the USB to pc but then i have to have the live by my self or have my own guests(Now also be a co host but then they other person cant have other guest i guess. But if i want just to be a guest I have to connect via my mobile, Iphone so i got told i should get an adapter Lightning to Camera3 and lightning charging. Sure fine...i connect and i can hear the sound from the mobile via the mixer to the headphones BUT no one on the live can hear me, so does this not work and i was tricked...i tried to download an APP another video here on RU-vid talked about...sure and i can se the one mic..wanted to use the other one but...i can just barely notice the guitar...BUT this is to record yourself or something...that is not being a guest at TikTok. So is i tricked big time and have just spend money i really should not have bought in the first way but if it not work i dont know what to do. So why would this not work with the sound the other way around, or has it to be something in the settings?

@92Koondog92 Год назад

Note that you can in fact record two distinct audio sources with a stereo USB mixer. You simply need to pan one left, and the other right, and record the stereo channels as discrete tracks. Most DAW's will allow you to do this. You are obviously restricted to two channels, but it works just fine.

@jamespombrio7663 Год назад

In fact you can technically record more than two you just have to pan some left and some right. You'll get a nice blend. If the mixer isn't a usb you can then plug it into an audio interface.

@PaulWalkerMuso 2 года назад

Thanks for that - nice and clear. Before I used Reaper I was recording directly onto my Zoom R8 which, in itself was cool. I never really explored it that much so, late in the day, discovered it can be used as an audio interface that permits recording to 2 separate tracks from 2 separate inputs - which is cool. In addition, it can act as a control surface for the transport section and faders. Especially for newbies (like myself) to all this the audio interface is a particular area of mystery so thanks for clarifying so succinctly.

@SteffenThole 3 года назад

Wow, this is incredibly clear. I feel like I could show this video to my parents who don't have any knowledge of recording and what you need for that at all, and they would still be able to follow you.

@fishingfreak9734 2 года назад

Great video. It's perfect for my situation. A few years ago I started with a Focusrite 2i4, I found the DAW (Ableton 10 Lite) to be somewhat cumbersome for recording acoustic or electric guitar and vocals. Recently I decided to get a mixer, I found the Zoom LiveTrak L-8, best decision I ever made, not inexpensive but worth it to me. It has an on board SD card slot which eliminates the need for recording to a PC. The mixer provides quicker and easier volume adjustment while playing the guitar or singing, the onboard effects are great even though I have some pedals and a modeling amp. I still plan to learn more about the the DAW and haven't sold the 2i4 yet !!! This is the first of your videos that I've seen and I'm glad I found you, I'm subscribing and can't wait to watch you again. Thanks Music Repo.

Well technically there are analog mixers with multiple busses, aux in's and outs, direct outs, etc. that allow you to record individual channels into (and mix out of) an audio interface (not just stereo summed mix all the time)...but most people watching this video probably won't be doing any of that relatively expensive big nonsense and completely ignoring this comment or staring blankly at it saying "what's a buss?"

Thank you so much for this video. I'm just starting to record in my home, and possibly stream in the future. I have been wondering which of these I needed and what the differences were. The stereo mix output verses the individual outputs was totally new to me, and makes it much easier now to decide which I need. It seems so many of the information sources out there always assume we already know the basic differences in these types of equipment, when those of us who are new have no idea. Until your video, no one had explained the output differences and those are crucial. Thank you again!

@mr.bowyer1277 3 года назад

Well explained. I think this will help a lot of people. "Absolute basics"? Well...those are tough words to live up to, but still this video is full of useful information. I think one thing I would add is that an "audio interface" basic contribution is that it converts an analog signal to digital information so that it can be manipulated further, or used for other purposes in the computer. The bonus is whatever quality the "audio interface" hardware brings to the equation to pull in the analog audio signal.

MG10XU does have the ability to connect via USB and behave as an interface. She showed the MG10. It behaves the way she described the other USB mixer. She is right that it doesn't split the tracks like the audio interface would. For most people who are doing single tracks, the interface is ideal. If you are recording a band, you should probably get a bigger interface. ; ) Mixers are good for live shows, though.

I've also had an older Tascam 1800 for a long time. I haven't used it for several years now, I'm not even sure if it's still compatible with my new Mac set up. But, It was a great piece of gear.

@TheREALJosephTurner 9 месяцев назад

A third option (and a better option in most home studios) would be an interface with as many channels as you need and a control surface that's compatible with your DAW. A control surface looks more or less like a standard mixer, only the controls are tied to the appropriate controls in your DAW. For instance, you move the fader for channel 1, and the fader for channel 1 in your DAW moves. pan to the left, and you get the same pan in your DAW. Some control surfaces even have programmable controls that you can map to your favorite software effects. Using this method, you don't have to mess with two sets of everything (both on a mixer and in the DAW), which can easily turn into a nightmare for beginners.

@rimmersbryggeri 5 месяцев назад

Yep thats a good one. The korg nanokontrol for example is a good entry level control surface.

@MichaelW.1980 3 года назад

The irony in those analogue Mixers is, that they miss a feature very crucial to live applications: A noise / expander gate. This makes choosing the right microphones even more crucial, on your quest of making feedback and and background noise as little of a problem, as possible.

@@jameslangridge1674 That's how I recorded for years. Ran an old Mackie 12-channel mixer into my laptop's mic input jack using an RCA to 1/8" jack adapter.

I know this subject intimately lol. I watched just to see how well you did. I have to say you nailed it. There's a lot to learn about them but you explained the "differences" perfectly. Uses, pros, cons, for each... Well done. I use my x32 for full band recording and a two channel Behringer for demos. Since you touched on the subject, I would point out that if you do have the option to record each instrument on it's own track, DO NOT add a bunch of effects to the track before you record. You can't get rid of too much echo or reverb if you record it that way. Add all that stuff in your computer after you get a good "dry" track. That way you can always hit undo or re-adjust amounts of effects. Recording with effects is risky business and generally never done by professionals. Just sayin... Cheers

Audio quality of even inexpensive mixers will be pretty good for most home use. The thing is that audio interface quality varies a lot by brand. Get a focusrite scarlett, and you will get absolutely top tier audio quality. Sadly, I bought a Steinberg UR22 however and the quality leaves much to be desired. High noise floor, and a low quality mic preamp in particular.

And your username is austintexas9440. Hell I'd love to hear your accent, and I'm not hating. I'm British and love hearing other accents people in my local Nottinghamshire area have such a boring dialect. 'Innit' 😅

Mg10XU by Yamaha DOES in fact plug straight into my computer fyi. I DON'T need an interface.

Thanks for your comment. In the video I am referring to the non-USB version of that mixer. Yamaha make a whole range of mixers and so if anyone is looking to purchase they need to be very careful which variant they are buying

I had to rewind this several times as the concepts were BRAND NEW "to me" given the fact that I had ZERO KNOWLEDGE on how these mixers and audio interface boxes worked prior to watching. HOWEVER, NOW that I have watched your video, I feel like I am empowered to be a studio engineer now. For real though I do. 😂 I ABSOLUTELY LOVED your explanation and I am so thankful! I am seriously going to pursue a deeper career in music now! Thank you! Love it!
