You would NOT connect an audio signal to the "send" jacks... those are OUTPUTS... In doing so you are driving signal backward enough to get to the headphones. Sends and returns are NORMALLY used on a mixer for external effects. You should either be using a LINE input jack or one for "tape input".
it should be if you hook something up to an input channel like w the band i was in i had to hook my turntables up to a microphone jack on an open channel . so yeah if u plug lets say a cd player plug the output of that into the input of the mackie and make sure you have your speakers in the output of mackie all set up and it should work no problem. We have the same mackie
The problem is that card has only UNBALANCED inputs. You really need balanced or first run the mixer outputs through a DI backwards. Frankly, I would recommend NOT using a card within the PC as there is so much digital noise. Use either a USB or Firewire external convertor and for goodness sakes use balanced lines from teh Mackie... ALL interconnected equipment needs to be powered from the same receptacle or source. M Audio, Roland/Cakewalk and Presonus all make cards as do others.
This is NOT likely to be a problem with the power source at all but more likely with some setup parameter. Search your manual for subjects like "quantize" and also sampling rates.
try hooking headphones to the output and see if the crackling is still there.
then, try it with the speakers, at a lower computer voume level and higher speaker volume level. perhaps the headphone output is too loud and distorting in the speaker inputs.
thaqts a little vague, what equitment do you have to hook up to it, specifically. i need makes and model numbers for everything you plan to hook up, microphones, amplifiers, speakers, effects processors, compressors, corssovers or varieties of electronic and acoustic instruments.
wiothout specifics, all i can say is "plug mics into whatevver mic imputs, and keyboards into whatever input, and your amps/speakers to the main outputs"
you are asking for quite a lot, try to be more specific about your external equiptment, and try to narrow your question down a bit, and i will be happy to help you out.
You need a Sampler. Either software or Hardware will work. A sampler is the device that will make it possible to play your voice on your keyboard. There are many software samplers available, take a look at websites like sweetwater.com or musiciansfriend.com and have a look at the pc software section. You will also need a MIDI connection for your computer to enable the keyboard to talk to your computer (runs around 50 bucks). I would look at a program like Sampletank or others.
