Hey guys! I am trying to hook up my microfreak to my TASCAM model 12 and have it play on both the left and right speakers, instead of just one. I know the MF is mono. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance!
I’m not familiar with that particular mixer, but if it works the same way as most others, then all you should need to do is use a mono channel on which the pan pot is set to central position.
HTH!
Are regular TS cables ok or do I need TRS?
If the output of the UFreak is mono, then just use T/S cables, unless of course you’re using a synth with TRS/Balanced outputs. Just keep the length as short as possible if using TS cables.
If you were to use a DI box, then you would use a T/S cable to the DI box and a balanced XLR mic cable to a mic input on the mixer.
Try it out with just a T/S cable first, if that’s too noisy then try a shorter one, if it’s still noisy, then you might want to have a look at going via the DI Box route.
I do both here, depending on how little or how much noise there is in a signal, sometimes USB can put noise out, so i’ll use DIN Midi instead… Use your meters and ears.
HTH!
HTH!
Thanks guys! I’ll give it a shot!
