Hi, I am really impressed by this site and forum; my first time here today. Great job to all those responsible.
I've been struggling with this problem for a while now and have just bought a new mixer (Eurodesk MX-802) with the hope that my old mixer (Spirit Folio) was the problem. It seems, however, that it's not my mixer but my lack of knowledge that is the problem.
I'm a drummer looking to do multi-track recording with my PB G4/667 and Cubase 4.1. Here's how my mixer is setup:
- Electronic drums (Roland V-Drums - the best!) coming in to one of my mixers 1/4" stereo inputs.
- 1/8" output from computer into mixers RCA tape in (for monitoring output from Cubase)
- tape in is sent to main mix (which I'm not using) so that I don't get signal from cubase sent back in to computer.
The problem comes when trying to get a stereo output from the mixer in to my 1/8" stereo input on my computer.
I've tried using the RCA tape out, the 1/4" control room outs, and even the AUX send, but all I get is a mono signal in cubase.
I thought that it must be a problem with my input jack, but after a while I tried sending my headphone out to the computer... and it sounded great! perfect strong stereo signal.
I've tried monitoring the output through the computers out rather than sending it to the mixer, but I get horrible latency.
So I guess my question is: how do I rig my setup so it works correctly?
I won't be surprised (or too embarrassed) if there turns out to be a simple solution, but I've tried lots of things and searched this forum for answers and still am at a loss.
Thanks so much to anyone who might help me out with this.
Sincerely...Evan
