How necessary is ths mixer in this setup? I am about to get a pod, and I was thinking about just running it directly into my sound card. What would getting a mixer do?Nuclear Vampire said:My set up is really simple. Guitar or bass into a Pod 2.3 into a Behringer UB802 mixer into my crappy Soundblaster Live card. I use Cakewalk Guitar Tracks 2 and Guitar Studio 2. Sometimes I use Fruity Loops to make up loops and shit. I also have a Boss DR-670 drum machine and a Boss SE-50 for effects. No decent mike yet.
This is really scatter brained, and I apologize, but I need some help.Nuclear Vampire said:I wanted a mixer to have more control over levels and sush before the signal gets to my soundcard. The drum machine needs a bit of a boost. I ran it straight in to the soundcard once and it's not very loud. I have my SE-50 looped into channels 5/6 on the mixer, so I can add effects to the drum machine. The SE-50 has a couple of nice reverbs and room settings.
I also use it when I digitize old jam tapes.
I only have these crappy Yamaha monitors, and when I jam along to my drum tracks, I can play my geetar through the Pod at the same time. To be honest, I've never run my Pod straight in.
It only costs $100.00 too, so you can't go wrong.
