Balanced connections allow long cable lengths with reduced susceptibility to noise.

Detailed Explanation

I guess the question should be simple:

I own a Juli@ interface from ESI, it has always been a fantastic-sounding tool, and it's got a unique feature: it lets you swap the card into two positions, RCA unbalanced I/O and TRS balanced I/O.

I have a Peavey PV14 mixer that I am trying to incorporate into my mix/match home setup. I have some questions regarding balanced/unbalanced ins and outs. I would like to run either my control room or main outs (1/4" TRS L/R) to a basic home stereo receiver as a cheap/easy way to power some 100-150W speakers.

When hooking up a guitar to my PreSonus unit using the obviously unbalanced cable from a guitar, the manual states that the first two channels are instrument ready. The use of a DI box then is not really necessary is it?

I was going through the options for budget multitrack interfaces and some don't have Firewire nor USB, but some other connecting ways like ADAT and S/PDIF. I'm specifically talking about Mackie Onyx 800R which I was thinking about getting but my laptop doesn't have those entries . How would I connect that interface on my PC or any PC with usb/Ilink(firewire)?

Thanks.

hey guys, sorry for the crazy amount of post, i truly appreciate all the advice and tips i have been getting from this community.

I think once i figure this out i will be in good shape

Hello.

I'm Daniel. I'm new here.

I'm recording a synth using the Digi 003.

Everyone tells me it's best to mic an amp for this, but that won't work for me because A) theres too much noise in my house, and B) the only amp I own is a cheapo Behringer bass amp.

So I have to go direct into the Digi 003.

Hello,

Hey everyone. i really need help with a short question here. My girlfriend is ready to get a laptop and she has a dell 4600 2.80ghz with 512mb of ram (i would obviously have to increase and this thing is pretty nice and shes ready to give it to me for recording only there is 4 usbs and NOOOOO firewires.

I need some help with hardware connections with my 002R. The reference manual was kind of vague. I'm looking to hook up an RNC to the 002R. I'm guessing I would use the in's and out's of channels 5-8. What I'm really not sure of is in and out assignments both on the mixer view and the I/O dialog box. I was thinking I could do an inline type of thing but the FMR only has 1/4" jacks.
