Re: CONNECTING A MIXER TO THE COMPUTER -- DO I NEED A PREAMP??

[Lou Novath]

If your church has some serious sound reinforcing equipment, like Peavy, 
Soundcraft, Tascam, or Sun, your friend had better be extremely careful how 
he goes about getting his sound signal.  Mixing boards like the 
aforementioned don't have line level outputs  anywhere on them.  More like 
10 dbv nominal.  Peak voltages from those mixing board outputs can cook a 
computer sound card quick as a wink.

Best,
Lou Novath

A pre-amp is not necessary when sending aline level signal from a mixer to 
a
sound card.  Your friend probably needed to select line input in the 
record
section of Windows mixer.

Yesterday in church, one of my colleagues was trying to record the 
service
via the computer using a software he called Music Studio 2005; he ran a
one-eight inch patch cord from the Maki mixer to the LINE-IN on the
computer.  However, he was unable to record.

He asked me why he was unable to record having connected the mixer to the
computer with a patch cord; I told him that a preamp would be needed for
this to occur.  Is my assessment close enough to being correct??
