Hi,
My band has recorded our bass guitar tracks to a click, so we can still gig while we search for a bassist. We have the click panned hard left for me, and the bass panned hard right; we then run the tracks from my iPod into a 2-channel Mackie mixer, and then out to headphones and bass cab.
It seems pretty straightforward, but the problem we're having is that when I turn the click up loud enough for me to hear it in the cans over a rock band, it begins to bleed through into the bass cab. In other words, the stereo signals combine. This happens even though we're sure the two tracks are hard left and hard right. This doesn't happen coming out of iTunes (we have headphones that can be unplugged, isolating one side or the other), and it doesn't happen from my iPod. Thus, we think the tracks are combining in the mixer, or in the cable we're using from the iPod to the mixer. We've tried other mixers, and it still happens, and we've tried both cheap and expensive cables out from the iPod to the mixer, and it still happens.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone ever run across this before? It's frustrating--we're almost there, and it seems like it should be so easy. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Not sure what you recorded on, but I'd say to just run straight off of a multitrack unit instead of using the ipod if you can. Small units by Fostex, Tascam, Zoom - one of those would probably work pretty good and give you individual track control. |
