Default Re: Rookie question about using an analog mixer

You need to use Pro Tools just like a multi-track tape machine and feed line input to each track (for mixing and out each track if you are tracking live through the console) and record the main bus, or whatever other bus you want. Lots of books on audio engineering will talk about doing that. If like your profile shows you have a 2x2 interface, you cannot even start, to use the full console you would need a 24x26 (or more) interface, worth well more than the console itself (even to partially use the console, the interface needed is likely to cost you more than the console is worth).

But uh what is this? An Elecro Voice mixer.... likely not worth much and will sound worse than mixing ITB, and you can’t automate the mixer or use it as a control surface... so why bother? I’d maybe put it aside and use for band practice etc. If you want a control surface start by looking at the Avid S3, if you really want to mix OTB that will sound great... what is your budget ?
