ALRIGHT, well i need help real bad. I have a eurorack ub802 and i got 2 sony speakers that i have hooked up to audio reciever. I have the audio reciever plugged into my computer. So everything that i play on my computer comes out the 2 sony speaker and i can use the audio reciever to turn it down and up and everything because i took out my PC speakers for my dell, is it better leavin my pc speaker or using the sony?. THEN this the part where i need help, i have my mixer and i got a 2 way cable connected in my LINE IN on my PC, and 1 of the ways has the audio reciever hooked up to it and the other 1 i have a cord hooked up to it and the other end of the cord is hooked up 2 this little peice that can go in my mixer. I tried putting it in all the buses on the mixer but they all sound shitty when i record and i can hear the beat when i record, when i put it in the headphones place on the mixer it sounds better then all the other ones!!! HOW DO I HOOK MY SPEAKERS UP TO MY COMPUTER AND MY MIXER TO MY COMPUTER!!! CAN ANY1 HELP PLEASE

Apr 22, 2006 11:33 pm use an adapter cable to go from the main 1/4" outs from your mixer to the line in on your sound card. Then connect your speakers as you normally would to the stereo out from your card.
Plugging your reciever into the line in via Y-cable will not work because you need an outgoing signal to go to your reciever. As far as sound quality goes using the line in, that may just be because you are using a stock soundcard that really isnt geared towards quality recording.

Apr 23, 2006 01:01 am so what kind of sound card do u think that i should get that aint so expesive??? im goin to try what u said tomorrow but check back.
Apr 23, 2006 01:27 pm hmm well there are many choices there, take a look at what M-audio or Line6 has to offer. Since you have a mixer, you may just want something with 1/4" inputs and little else to cut down expenses.

Apr 23, 2006 02:10 pm yea i have already decided on the toneport ux2 usb soundcard. And i have a shure pg58 mic is that good or what? i dont think it can use the phnatom power thats on my mixer. Do u recommend a better mic?
Apr 23, 2006 05:17 pm the UX2 has phantom power...no worries about the mixer having it or not.
Apr 23, 2006 08:23 pm phantom power is not any kind of advantage. It is used to power the internal amp inside condenser microphones so don't worry about your shure pg58 since it is a passive dynamic mic.
You can find all sorts of different microphones for different purposes. If you want a better mic for vocals then you may want to invest in a condenser mic. Some are selling for 100 bucks these days. Its all in what your needs are.

Apr 23, 2006 10:01 pm Well my mixer has phantom power on it too. The thing i dont get about my mixer is the 2 buttons that say "tape to control room" and it got a arrow pointing down that says "tape to mix". And i dont no where i should put the adapter to hook my mixer up to my computer the main out L or R i tried all of them and the best sound i get is by using the HEADPHONES input. What should i do?
That is my mixer right there>> www.behringer.com/UB802/index.cfm?lang=ENG
