Short questions on patchbays
Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2017 3:07 pm
Hello all,
- What do you do if only one single headphone socket is available but four musicians are to participate in your recording session?
I once saw a little box, with four headset sockets at the front and one at the back, the latter to connect with the headphone socket on the recording device. Remembering that, I went to the electronics shop where I think I saw just such a device and asked. But they looked at me as if they saw water burning.
- What do you do if you've got only one single audio input and only one single audio output available, but two or three mini-jacks/RCAs loose ends left with nowhere to go?
My guess is that you'd need some sort of patchbay, in this case.
Thing is, though, that the only 'patchbays' my favourite search engine shows are either for XLR (microphones) or for full phone jacks. Nothing of the kind to solve the problem of audio in and and audio out being "filled", but several mini-jacks/RCAs left dangling still. A cheap splitter the sole suggestion on offer, apparently.
Has anybody on LM ever seen such devices as described above? Or even used one?
