Connecting mixer to PC
Posted: 14:33, 3 January 2011
Ok, so i've just got my mixer and today i was doin some test recordings with my TD9 with a backing track from my ipod, and after i finished recording, i took a look at the recording and it sounds horrible, the quality is nothing like what is coming from the mixer, and i know this because i plugged my headphones into the exact same jack as where it connects to the PC and it sounds as good as it did when i was recording. So i know its how im connecting the mixer to the PC. Right now its connected to PC through a stereo headphones jack on the mixer with a 1/4" to 1/8" converter, which is connected to the mic input on the motherboard of the PC.
So i went looking for some other way to connect the mixer to the PC, prefereably through a 1/4" jack on a soundcard, but they are SO expensive.
So what would any of you people suggest i have a look at, i just one an easy cheap way to get my mixer connected, also, i only have PCI slots, not PCI-Express, so its probably better to get a USB soundcard or something like that, i have USB 2.0 by the way ;p
Thanx anyway
