Happy New Year everybody! I could use some help thinking through a question that has arisen in my mind.
I am using my 1680 to record, and then piping everything over to PC using Virdis. (Wav export) where I will be mixing the project.
I like to A/B my mixes against a commercial CD in the flavor of what we're doing.
I have a big knob unit which allows me to select two different sources. One is the PC mix, and the other one is the VS material.
I'm thinking of just taking the two RCAs on the back of my CD player, and running them into the VS using an adapter to 1/4. Or maybe even yet, I should just take two RCAs to quarter inch and run it into track 15/16 for example.
The big knob that lets me select either the PC or the VS, goes off to powered monitors so nothing's amplified until it hits the monitors.
I'm going to give this a try I think next weekend but do you think it's sound reasoning? I have run a CD player through a channel on my Mackie board for live gigs, and I think this would work the same way.
Just floating this to see if there's anything I'm substantially off on, theory wise.
TIA
