Setup the Audio Interface to Receive the Signal From the Mixer.
Locate an Available Line-Level Output in the Audio Mixer.
Step by Step Guide to Setup an Audio Mixer to the Interface. When we get to the point where we want to make a studio recording of one of our originals, then I won't worry about the mixer. The second reason is that once we have a song worked out, I'd like to record a flattering but still representative version of our live act to make a demo CD for when we start shopping for gigs. It's a way to reinforce the arrangements. Plus we keep forgetting the intro to this, or the transition in that medley, etc. The reason for recording our rehearsals is twofold: first, as we work out new songs, it's helpful to have recordings we can listen to in between practices (I worked out a solo in my head driving to NC that way a few months ago). I'm looking to make mixable recordings of our rehearsals, so the mixer is for the live sound. So my first question is does this logic sound valid? And the second question is whether or not there's an easy way to get that 4th vocal track included for a total of 9 tracks?īonus question: if we were to bring in a mixture of phantom and non-phantom powered mics, would that tip the scale toward going through the MixWizard first? One nice feature of the MixWizard is being able to add phantom power to a single channel. None of our mics require phantom power at present. We basically just use reverb on the vocals. I'll lose the built-in effects of the A&H, but who cares, right? That's what DAW plugins are for. this seems to be the easiest and a relatively inexpensive option. the preamps in the Focusrite are most likely better than those in the A&H. Connect the MixWizard main LR outs to our RMX 850 via XLR cables, then from the amp to the speakers. Connect the Focusrite to the PC via USB. Connect the Focusrite line outs via TRS 1/4" cables to the line in jacks on the MixWizard. Plug the mics and instruments into the Focusrite. If the magic number is 8, though, I could sacrifice one of the vocal tracks for recording (sorry, Randy -) ). In a perfect scenario, I'd like to be able to record four vocals and five instruments simultaneously. I'm in a band which is made up of four old farts and a drum machine, and I want to start recording our practices in a mixable format. I've given you the gear, so here's the goal. Depends on your gear and what you're trying to accomplish." The general gist of the responses I've seen have all been " There's no one right way to do it. In planning to connect everything up - and buying the necessary cables - I've read several posts about the different ways to do it (including this post). I just acquired an A&H MixWizard WZ3 16:2, and tonight i'm picking up a Focusrite 18i20.
