Two choices of outputs on the MG10/2, two different cables needed, I need to purchase a cable for this purpose today so heres the question...

RCA "record out" from the MG to the delta 44, or 1/4" TS " CR Out" to the delta 44?

Sorry, just saw it.

I'd use the 1/4 in channel inserts. Then the signal is nice and clean. One click only.

hmm that statement just brought me to a realization.. I have 4 XLR inputs and 4 TS inputs on the sound card.. I COULD run one track per channel, couldnt i?


edit: nevermind. Only have inserts on channel 1 and 2.

channel insert 1 and 2, but sub-out 3 and 4. viola. You could still use 5 - 10 on main out, for 6 at once. I think. I'd have to play with it, but it seems feasible.

oh yeah, you have a 44, oh well, just thinking ahead =)

i will be getting another one very soon, so thinking ahead is good... but i will be getting another mixer too.

(PS I have sub outs on this thing?)


Quick question..

Tell me how this would work (if i dont have subouts)

Recording drums 4 mics... 2 overheads, 1 snare, one kick.


Kick on channel one... I/O to card

Snare on channel two.. I/O to card

Left overhead, pan hard left.. Main out left to card

Right overhead, pan hard right... Main out right to sound card


Think that would work for seperating the four tracks?

Crap, and my break is over. I hope The music store is still open when I get out of work, so I can buy two more TS cables.

I've been looking at the manual for the 10/2, no sub buss (hence the name 10/2, heh)

Anyway, with signal always going to the output buss, if you tap signal at the channel inserts, then turn your faders completely off for chan 1 and 2. The channel inserts take signal after the EQ but before the fader, so you're good there. Then pan 3 hard left and 4 hard right and they'll be coming out the mains seperately outta left and right.

The manual says the channel inserts are reverse phased, so you may want to switch it back in your recording software.

oop, forgot, if you do it this way, you get four inputs, but you can't monitor pre-PC. You'd have to monitor after the PC, which shouldn't be a big deal.

FYI, update on the situation... It appears that the I/O's bypass the gain control as well. The only volume control I have now is the 3-band EQ, and those are almost all the way down. I still have a clipping problem with the snare mic and left overhead. Neither of these were a problem with the old setup, so I think I am going back to mixing the tracks together at the mixer, and trying my best to EQ everything there as well.


Do the direct outs on the behringer have this problem as well, or can I actually control the volume with the faders on that piece?

wow, that doesn't make sense. the gain / trim should change the level of the channel insert. it did on my 16/4. seems kinda odd. I'm not at work so i can't look at the manual again. I'll look again later, but you seem to already have figured out what you can and can't do.

bummer.

i'm not sure of direct outs. i'd have to look at the signal flow through the board and/or check the manual.
