Re: Recording the DTXpress IV

2007-07-02 by Phillip Cohen

Thomas,

You'll get a better result recording from the Left/Right outs than the 
headphone port, because they put out a stronger signal.  (You'll also 
want to use these if you ever play live, or plug into a PA or 
soundboard). You will need to convert from two mono plugs to stereo, 
and from quarter inch to 1/8inch plug.  The latter part it sounds like 
you already know how to do.  The first part can be accomplished using 
an adapter from Radio Shack, or something like this: 
http://shop.drumbalaya.com/YPP136?sc=2&category=38. 

Another way to go about it would be to get a cable that goes from 1/8" 
stereo plug to left and right mono RCA plugs, and then just get two RCA 
to 1/4" adapters.  That's probably the easiest you can do, because 
Radio Shack will have all the necessary cables and adapters.

Hope this helps you!
