Thread: Can someone help me with my channel mixer

Need more info.

What brand and model is the mixer?
What are you recording to?
Why isn't this in the Newbies forum?

Trust me. If you don't know how to use a mixer you definitely shouldn't be posting anywhere else.

How are you getting this into the computer itself? The mic jack built into the computer?

The mixer you linked to is not a computer interface which is really what you need. Your best bet is to return the Radio Shack "mixer" and purchase an inexpensive 2 channel computer interface.

But its not showing a slot for my mic

First, your components are not very good-especially the Radio Shack "mixer" and the Behr.... "interface."

However, with the gear you have, it's still going to be difficult. You do not have a microphone preamp at all. The Radio Shack mixer assumes you already have the microphone running through a preamplifier before it gets to the Radio Shack device. That's why you can't figure out how to hook up the MXL microphone. I cannot tell what the input jacks are on the Radio Shack mixer. You will need some sort of converter cable to get from XLR-F to 1/4 inch TS or 1/8 inch TS whatever on the Radio Shack mixer. From there you will go out of the Radio Shack to the Behr... junk with RCA cables.

This is not going to work well if at all.

Instead of telling me whats not going to work and that it's going to be hard why dont you tell me exactly what I need. Or if theres a way I can have my mic jack directlt in my pc or get a usb adapter for it. Something like that since i cant go out and spend 100 buck.

I told you how to do it. You are the one showing up with a pile of useless and unrelated equipment and no idea how to use any of it. The fact that what I told you in my prior post was indeed how to hook the equipment up just reinforces that fact.

Bottom line is that you need a microphone preamplifier prior to going into the Radio Shack device. No, I do not have a recommendation for you. I will not associate myself however indirectly with things that are so poorly designed and inadequate.

Good luck. I'm out.

THis is really a Rube Goldberg device set up

You could buy an ART Preamp

but really study the machine in the first link and try to relate that this is the approach you are using.
