Help…I’m a newbie and need help with audio equipment in order to produce podcast phone interviews. I have JK Audio’s Broadcast Host and just picked up a Behringer EuroRack UB10002 mixer. That’s the only hardware I have for my iMac besides a Shure SM58 microphone. For the life of me, I can’t figure out how to set my cabling connections to best record phone interviews…I’ve been aimlessly trying various configurations and am having no luck.

Can anyone help??

The Multi-Mix can only send out 8 channel assignments in one program, Cubase LE. The mixer is designed almost exclusively to Cubase. If you read the Cubase setup file that is on the Alesis website it explains how to assign channels and inputs and clearly shows adding 8 inputs, but good luck trying to figure out Cubase, I’ll stick with Audition.

Hi Samuel,

If your using Windows XP, all you have to do is plug the mixer into an available USB port (preferably not one in a “hub”) and XP will automatically see the mixer. What sortware are you using? Check the
program’s audio device in and out options…select the USB Audio Device. This will give you both input to the pc and out of computer back to the mixer (for monitoring, etc.). You can go to http://www.Alesis.com and under support they have a nice tutorial (with pictures!) that explain things very well. Good luck!

Shaun.

The Multimix can only send out the main stereo mix. One thing you can try — hard pan 2 channels [L] + [R]. Deal with each channel in post by converting each channel back to a stereo track.

Hi there, I am looking for some insight on using the Alesis Multimix 8 (USB) with Audacity on Windows XP. Have you (or anyone) had much success with that type of setup?

I know some of the 2-track USB mixers come with Cubase LE, but I really like using Audacity and would like to keep using it as my main software program.

Just looking for some options! Thanks!

P.S. I like the site.

Fran,

“Stereo USB input and output � routes the main ouput
and the 2-track return through the USB port in crystalclean,
16-bit, 44.1 kHz stereo digital audio. Use the
Multimix USB as a high-quality soundcard for recording
and playback with Windows and Macintosh computers.”

So, think of the mixer as a sound card with the added benifit of multiple audio source inputs.

Thanks for the reply. I can see I’m going to have to chat with a local music friend face to face to understand this completely. I’m asking for more than the normal situation with that many or more people.
