I am very much wanting to start recording my own music at home. Very amateur stuff, nothing too fancy. I dont really want to spend alot of money so here are some of the things that I'm looking at right now:
Mixer: http://www.zzounds.com/item--MAC1202VLZPRO A little overkill right now but I figure it'll be a nice investment down the line.
Soundcard: http://www.esi-pro.com/viewProduct.php?pid=43&page=2
Monitors: http://www.zzounds.com/item--KRKRP6
Mic: Ive got a Shure SM57
Software: Ive got Steinberg Nuendo
Now, what I'm confused about is what the best way is to connect all this stuff. Im pretty sure the best way is to keep as much as possible balanced correct? Bare with me here...
The mixer has LEFT and RIGHT balanced outs using XLR connectors that would go into the Juli@. The Juli@ site says that it has balanced TRS I/O. I checked Blue Jeans' website and they make a balanced XLR cable to TRS but where Im getting confused is how many connectors are on the ends. Is it 2 XLR's on one end into a single TRS? Or 1 XLR into one TRS or what? And how would the Juli@ connect to the balanced inputs of the monitors?
I'd appreciate it if anyone could clarify all this cable madness. Thanks
