with a small USB mixer instead?

Re: audio question

2014-06-24 Thread Erik Heil
 Hello,
One important thing mentioning here is that if you go with a USB mixer, you
will eliminate the analog to digital conversion step that will be used if
you use a tradational line-in mixer. Now this isn't saying that you will
notice any degraded audio, but this may become a problem. Also, if you
chose to go with a USB mixer, you will not experience any hums and other
annoyances, if for some reason, your line-in cable is not properly
shielded.

Eric, 

What kinds of problems might I encounter with the USB mixer? I like no hum. 
Although I have a range of cables for the line-in, I haven't marked the 
troublesome ones or gotten rid of them. My bad there.

Re: audio question

2014-06-24 Thread CJ Daniel
Jenine,

You might look in to the M-Audio Fast Track or Fast Track Pro.  Those work 
pretty well with Mac.  But, I believe they're only 2 channel for the XLR's.  
On-the-other-hand, they're are more expensive models by the same manufacturer 
with 4-channels.  Also, depending on your Mac, your not limited to USB.  There 
are firewire models as well with much less latency issues.  You can use a 
firewire to Thunder Bolt adapter, from Apple, for later Macs.
