Aug 11, 2007 12:16 pm Hey there Billy, I have that same mixer, and I've used it with a Maudio Delta 1010lt, and now a ESI ESP1010.
Both have 8 analog inputs, so 8 mic channels (or line in) can be sent to the PC from your mixer (generally).
What I do:
Mics plugged into mixer xlr inputs (say, 1, 2, 3, 4)
Take a 1/4" mono patch cord, like 3ft, and plug into the channel insert on the mixer channel 1. But only to the first click. Pushing it all the way in breaks the signal flowing through the mixer, and you don't want this.
Plug the other end of the patch cord into input 1 on your interface (1/4" input for the ESP1010, RCA input for the 1010lt)
Then, inside your software, after you set up your new interface, you should see the inputs listed as available. Just tell the software you want to 'arm' the appropriate tracks, and viola! recording individual tracks.
HOSA makes snakes that have (8) 1/4" TS (mono) on one end, and (8) RCA on the other. I now have a snake with 1/4" TS on both ends, and it's working quite well.
If you have a guitar processor with digital out, then you can record that at the same time as well, plugging into the interface's digital inputs, if it has them.
I've seen the price come down on the mg16/4 to 229. Very nice!
