I was wondering how to hook up all of my drum mics to record them. I have a Behringer UB2442fx-pro and I am using a Tascam u-122 to get them into my computer so I have only 2 inputs. Should I assign different components of my kit to subgroups and then use the subgroup line outs to the tascam? If so, how would I want to group these? I just want maximum flexibilty with what I have when it comes time to mix down the different tracks. Thanks again for all your help.

Feb 15, 2004 08:16 am Well, if you only have 2 inputs, then you don't need to worry about subgroups, just use the main outs-- unless you're using the main outs for your headphone and monitor mix. Just plug everything in and use the pan knobs to arrange things in the stereo field.
Feb 15, 2004 11:31 am That makes sense. I was just curious if there was a way to isolate each mic so that if I needed to change the sound of something in Cubase (like a snare or the cymbals) after it was recorded I could only change that particular portion. But, I think I would need some thing more than what I have (the Tascam), right? So I just need to make sure that I get the sound I want with the mixer before it goes to Cubase I guess. Thanks for the help.
Feb 15, 2004 11:06 pm Yeah, if the tascam only has 2 inputs, like you say, you would need an interface with more inputs to do that, in which case you would use the outputs from the subgroups.
