Can I record 8 microphones on a 4 chanel mixer if I use xlr spliters to split the mixer's xlr inputs?
I am thinking of buying an Input Mixer Azden FMX 42 4 channel audio mixer because it is resonably priced. Problem is I need to record 8 audio sources (1 boom and 7 lavs.) I want to use xlr spliters to increase the number of xlr inputs. Will it work and what kind of sound qulity will I get?

First off, if it’s a headphone jack it’s an output not an input. While the line level/headphone voltages involved aren’t likely to be enough to harm either piece of equipment I still wouldn’t recommend even trying it.And are you sure you don’t have another set of analog RCA’s available? Maybe a Video AUX on the front panel? You can use any RCA input, provided it’s not a PHONO input. It can even be an input labeled as a typical video source, just use the left and right audio and ignore the video inputs.Now, to answer your original question. To make that connection you’ll need a small analog to digital converter box such as this:http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=5278This will take audio outputs of your DJ mixer and convert them to either an optical or a coaxial output for use with your digital inputs.
You didn’t make clear if you want those 5 recorded tracks to remain seperate, or if they will be mixed down to one track as you record. The way you’re describing, the 5 tracks will end up as one recorded track on the computer. You would need multiple inputs into the computer, plus direct outs from each channel on the mixer if you want to be able to mix the tracks seperately afterwards. If the mixer has inserts on each channel, those can be used as direct outs.
Generally using the 1/4″ TRS jack will disable the balanced XLR. You could just run your computer into your mixer, it would just require that your mixer be on whenever you listen to your speakers. Or you could get a cheap 4 channel mixer and run both your computer and mixer into that, and then the output into your speakers. The circuitry is pretty simple so you shouldn’t lose much fidelity.http://www.instrumentuniverse.com/recording/m/Mixers/ART_PowerMIX_l_4_Channel_Mixer_180623.htm
Hey Bman: Yes it is, and a lot of bands do it. What you are referring to is “submixing” the drums. Wish you would have listed what Behringer mixer you have, as well as what your bands mixer is. I could be of way more help. Once you have your drum mics plugged into the Behringer, do a PFL on each channel as you normally would on the F.O.H. mixer. The main outs on the Behringer mixer are balanced. You can use balanced 1/4″ cables from the Behringer to a STEREO channel on the F.O.H. mixer. While there are more options than this, again, I dont know what mixer your band uses, and how many subgroups are on the mixer. You kind of lost me with the headphone thing, as headphone jacks are outputs, not inputs as you suggest. If your willing to edit your question with what mixers you are using, I would be glad to check back and update my answer. By the way….. NEVER skimp on cables. Its best to have to many QUALITY cables of ALL types, XLR, 1/4 inch of all lengths, patch and insert cables. You never know whats going to happen at a show, and its not in a bands best interest to have poor cables with lousy connectors that are going to be used week in week out. For 30 bucks, invest in a cable tester too. Behringer makes a decent one, and its a very handy tool to have. It will test about any type cable you will ever own.
Mostly it just won’t be as loud. There might be a slight tonal shift.
What are you trying to achieve?The best results will come by setting your screen resolution to the mixer resolution, i.e. 720×480i or 720×576i or similar depending on whether PAL or NTSC. But realistically the output from the computer will look awful on small text etc. graphics should look okay. You will need to use sans-serif fonts and large font sizes to get a decent result.You will also need to calibrate your graphics card when hooked up via S-Video, go through a colour and gamma correction setup whilst looking at the TV monitor to get best results, the standard setting for most graphics cards are way to hot for video.
a mixer can have any number of inputs. the number really doesn’t matter as long as there are enough to fit your project.different types of mixers will have different types of inputs. for a condenser mic you will probably want an XLR input. XLR are typical for mics but sometimes are used with other devices. 1/4″ or instrument inputs are another typical input. this can be for plugging in a guitar or bass. devices that output in stereo will require two inputs (left and right). after that you will have MIDI inputs for MIDI devices.as a side note, you can get a condenser mic that is USB and plug directly into a computer and you wouldn’t need a mixer. you would just need software to record and mix within your computer. audacity is a free download that can record.also you may look into audio interfaces. they will allow you to connect mics, instruments, MIDI, etc to your computer via USB or firewire. many also come with the software needed to record and mix.it all depends on what exactly you are trying to record, and what you want to do with that recording.feel free to contact me if i can help further
Collin M tried to make you download software on your computer without you knowing it. I dont really think hes trying to help you. As for the question, I dont think you can speed up the tempo from the iPod. I would just match them.
ONLY if the speaker is a powered speaker, but you link shows thatspeaker is NON-powered speaker. A powered speaker has an amp built in. Usually the input are XLR or 1/4″ connection. If your mixer has XLR out or 1/4″ output then you can use it. A NON-powered speaker needs an external amp to work.Good luck
Papi – You really don’t want to combine 4 mics into one input. It will not work well if at all.What you really want is a cheap mixer with 4 inputs – that will work great!This is a great little mixer:http://www.zzounds.com/item–BEHXENYX1202
I need more info – are these electronic drums, software drums or acoustic drums?If you have electronic drums plugged directly into the mixer, they should play in real time with your headphones plugged in.Software drums may not play in exact time if you are monitoring them through your soundcard but it should be pretty close.Acoustic drums will play in real time if you are micing them and monitoring them through headphones into the mixer.
