First, it's not a "track," it's a "channel." The best thing you can do at this point is to learn how audio systems and mixers work. (Maybe someone can recommend a good book for beginners?) What you need to do in order for the house sound engineer to control the individual levels of your mic and guitar is to send him two signals, one for the mic and one for the guitar. This is probably best done by using a mixer (as described by Tim Nelson). The mixer must have stereo (2-channel) outputs and you will need to assign the mic to one channel (e.g. "left") and the guitar to the other channel (e.g. "right"). You can do this with the channel pan controls. Note that you will not be sending a "stereo" mix to the house console; you will be sending a "2-channel" mix with completely different material on each channel. This is not the only way to do this, however. You can also split the mic signal and the guitar signal before they are mixed together in your mixer. This would actually allow you to send three separate signals (mic, guitar, loop) so that the house engineer could balance all three. You could do the splits with "Y" adaptors or you could use a mixer with direct outs, and you'd probably need three direct boxes in order to send a clean, balanced signal up the mic snake. >-----Original Message----- >From: Tim Nelson [mailto:psychle62@yahoo.com] >Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 2004 3:48 PM >To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com >Subject: Re: Having Problems with controlling the levels of my looping >station during performances > > >Yep, and for even more control, run your mic into >channel 1, your guitar into channel 2, put the RC-20 >in the mixer's aux send, and run the output of the >looper back into channel 3.
