Thank you very much everyone for your detailed explanations and suggestions which will enable me to choose the right equipment. Very much appreciated!

You’d use the 3.5mm headphone output to connect to the mixer. Either a 3.5mm TRS to 2xRCA cable if you use the RCA inputs on the mixer, or 3.5mm TRS to two 1/4” TS jack plug cable if you want to use a stereo channel. I’ve used both in the past, though I normally prefer the stereo channel approach a...

Thank you for all replies. I think I am going to look at an mp3/lossless audio player something like this, however they only seem to have a usb c socket. Can someone suggest something that might work with something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09Q8QJXH5/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=...

I'd replay tracks stored* on a phone or mp3 player. You'd need a 3.5mm mini jack to dual RCA-phono plug lead to run from the player's headphone output to mixer input.

If the mo3 player has a usb-c input, will a usb-c to rca work as well? Thanks

Thank you everyone for your help and advice!

Short answer: yes you can plug instruments into the line inputs of your mixer. Longer, and more nuanced answer: Electronic sources — keyboards, synths, electronic drum kits etc — can be plugged straight into the line inputs of your mixer without problems. You can also plug electric guitars and bass...

Probably this is or a fender strat, purely for finger picking accompaniment for a ballad.

Punkyfish, what are you actually trying to do? 1) About how to get instruments into your mixer for the purposes of putting them through a PA for a gig? Apologies, I would like to put a bass guitar, electric lead guitar, keyboard/synth, electro acoustic guitar through the mixer which then goes to Ya...

Hi, yes bang on. I think I thought I could do the same using the mixer and it would work, because I can do that with the focusrite. Sorry if I wasn’t clear.

I’m not convinced that the lead guitar should be DId unless either the amp has a speaker emulated output or if there is no amp, their pedal(s) of choice has an emulated output. If they’ve only got standard pedals into an amp, then you’ll need to mic the amp up or it will sound awful. What is an emu...

I recently got a Sadowsky SBP-1, a preamp/DI for bass. Very happy with it. For electric guitar, my Vox Valvestate amp has a lineout that can be plugged straight into the mixer, but if I were serious about it I would be looking at a better amp and run it through one of Two Notes' boxes. For a simple...

that's what you would do if you - for some reason - were to plug the electric guitar straight to the mixer. If there's an amp involved what you will do is mic the amp. If there's a multifx or amp emulator (helix, kemper, etc) you will take the DI out from the device and straight to the mixer. It’s ...
