But the problem with this is that ALL of the channels in use will get mixed together and sent to those outputs, which is generally not what you want. If your mixer doesn’t have Direct Outs (or doesn’t have enough of them), you could always use the Main L/R Outputs of the mixer, but there are only two of them. It’s also common on many 16-channel mixers to only have Direct Outs on the first 8 channels. This allows you to record that one instrument (and only that instrument) to its corresponding track on the recorder or in your DAW software.īut what if your mixer doesn’t come equipped with Direct Outs? Many lower-priced mixers, or mixers designed more for stage use, do not. Using the Direct Outs in such a way takes each channel’s signal post-fader and post-EQ and sends it straight to the recording device.
You would then connect the channel 2 Direct Out to the track 2 input of the interface, etc. If you wanted to record the kick drum to track 1, you would connect the channel 1 Direct Out to the track 1 input of the interface. For example, let’s say your kick drum mic is connected to channel 1 of the mixer. When connecting a mixer to a digital audio interface or multi-track recorder, you normally connect the Direct Out jack of each mixer channel to a track’s input on the interface.
