Mixer
You can connect a mixer to the sound card with a setup of the following kind:
Figure 490. Mixer
Let’s trace the signal flow in the above picture:
1. Your pre-recorded tracks flow out of the sound card’s outputs into mixer inputs #1 and 2.
2. Both the pre-recorded tracks and the live guitar’s sound flow into the main mixer outs, where you
can hear them (monitor them) through the stereo amplifier and speakers.
3. If you turn up the bus send #1 on the guitar input (mixer input #3), the guitar sound flows into a
sound card line input out of bus #1. You could turn up the bus send #2 control on the guitar input
if you wanted to use that instead, since both buses #1 and #2 are patched into the sound card’s
line input. You could also use both bus sends at the same time to double the guitar’s mono signal
if you wanted (not the usual way to record).
4. Since you’re already hearing the guitar through the main outputs, you probably don’t want to
hear its signal again coming back through the sound card’s outputs, so mute the sound card’s
line-in on its Play Control page of its mixer software (not its Record Control page—you want to
record the line-in, but not play it back).
5. If you plug other instruments into other inputs, you can send them into your sound card’s line
input by turning up bus send #1 and/or #2 on each of the mixer’s channels.
6. If the guitar in the above picture had a stereo pickup and stereo cable, you could plug the left
plug on the cable into input #3 and turn up bus send #1, and plug the right plug into input #4, and
turn up bus send #2 on that input. You would then be sending a stereo signal from the guitar
through buses #1 and #2 to the sound card’s line input.
