@ernestthompson891 3 года назад

Thank you for your production. It was well done. Very easy to follow. Dependable results. It really helped that you were so clear with the "how and where" to connect without visual blockages such as your hands and fingers. As silly as it may sound, it makes a huge difference especially to a non tech guy like myself. Because of your guidance, I was able to connect my pre-amp to mixer with ease. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to reviewing other productions. Subscribed.

@otraperspectiva 3 года назад

I appreciate your help. It's clear to me now that I don't need to turn up the gain in my interface if I'm already getting a balanced signal from the mixer. Good explanation, thanks

Hi Jordan, thanks againg for a great content. I am concidering buying the SSL 2+ to use together with the Yamaha MG10XU. Will I benefit from this setup for home recording or should I continue to use the Yamaha as an audio interface? I use it with SM7b, AT2035, Keyboards, Bass guitar, iPad and computer audio and simple recordings and audio / video editing + DAWs.

@1skywalker2 2 года назад

Great tutorial video Jordan. Question: after connecting my Yamaha MG/12-4FX analog mixer to my Steinberg UR22MKII interface they way you explained, how do I now connect my two small JBL powered monitors?

@freddemski1161 Год назад

Very informative and well done! Wonder if you could provide advice for this issue?

Thanks in advance for any helpful info.

well and clearly explained only what should you do if your audio interface only has a mic/line 1 input and inst 2 (for instruments) e.g. the u-phoria umc 22 then it is not possible to do left and right when i use a orchestra wants to record with all their equipment at the mixer (without usb) with audio interface is there a solution for that?

I have a question. Let's say I'm connecting to a very large mixer. One with 20+ Mic inputs. I understand that the main out is what's being connected to the Interface. But does that mean that all the audio will be sent into the Interface/laptop? I ask because if I'm trying to record a live performance, I don't understand how to send the audio out to the speakers/monitors as well as the Interface/laptop for recording. I've been trying to find info on this and haven't seen anyone explaining this sort of scenario. Please Help. I want to be able to record while the live music is being performed and heard in the room.

@hanten10 2 года назад

You can also open two audio project and set the 1st one to input 1 and the second one to input 2, now you have two different individual track

@lumberpilot Год назад

I have the Tascam Model 12 which is supposed to be a DAW controller as well but I never got it to function as such. However, after I get a mix on the Model 12, I can send it to my DAW from the built in SD card. I am experimenting because I want to see if there is a difference by running the Model 12 to the interface as described in this video. I will also continue to see about getting the Model 12 to do what it's supposed to do.

@mybudinesd4545 2 года назад

Great video very informative with a good breakdown of a complicated solution. Questions: 1. Why would I connect the mixer to an interface to do any type of recording? 2. What is the advantage of connecting the interface to the laptop, the mixer to the interface, and the MICs to the mixer? 3. Why wouldn’t I connect the mixer to the laptop, the interface to the mixer, and the MICs to the Interface?

@souvlaki9951 2 года назад

Not a big audio expert but I do have some experience in home recording, so this is just my opinion... 1. Might be a cheaper solution for anybody that wants more inputs to just get one of these rather than upgrading the interface itself. However impractical that maybe, it is entirely plausible that somebody might not want to trade in their interface for an additional two inputs (at double the cost) over spending just another $100 for a mixer with 4+ inputs. I believe though most people that will go for this option are going to be people with a lot of external gear, like synths, drum machines, samplers, etc., so that they can capture all of those elements together, be able to mix them, and then send it to their DAW easily after the fact. 2. Just being able to use the mixer in the manner of which I said in the last point is my guess. I can also see this being used for podcasters and small bands as well, essentially, just for anybody with a lot of inputs being able to capture the sum of their mixer output into a stereo track. 3. If the mixer has a USB output option available, you certainly can do that. Although it'd be kind of redundant, given the audio interfaces are more or less designed to be utilized for your computer... I'm going to guess that because of that, the signal might not come through entirely as one would want. I can kind of maybe imagine doing this if you're wanting to capture the audio of a computer going into the interface and out through the mixer, but that'd mean having another computer at the end of the routing so as to not have a feedback loop of sorts. Not really that practical.

@CullerCommentary 2 года назад

Another possible use would be if you have a mixer with built-in hardware compression and/or limiter and don't want to have to purchase a pre-amped hardware compressor.

I imagine you would do this bc you want to use the effects engine on your mixer to alter your vocals, instrument, etc. Otherwise just plug mic/instrument straight into the audio interface, right? Are there other tricks to do using the mixer & audio interface together?
