[DJ James Lake]

Rec out will work but is normally at a fixed level

And will bypass tone controls as well.

i realise that rec is the same as master basically so if i used rec into my lappy whilst using booth for its job they wont affectt each other?

Master, without getting technical, is often louder than the RECord output which is ideal for inputting into a laptop.

Your Booth output will give you the mix WITHOUT microphones.

ok thanks, on my mixer there are 3 outputs (i use xlr seperate for master) and theres amp, rec and booth in like a box like thing and wasnt sure they would interacte for some reason or other

just beware your connection between laptop and mixer - you might need a ground loop isolator to prevent the dreaded PC noise getting into the system....

ive streamed off it before with my laptop going out of rec and listening to master but not with booth yet, thanks for the reminder tho :)

Not always, it depends on the mixer. Some do as a matter of course, some dont...and others you get to choose. :)

But usually the case of the BOOTH is designed for exactly what it says - the booth - so the DJ can hear the mix in a rather loud monitor but not his mic - hence avoidind feedback.

hi, just been playing with booth but it only seems to play when my headphones are selected to the playing channel, is it meant to be like that? ive never used booth before

[James]

Really good idea, Just out of interest, how would you stream a live event on the web?

Are we talking laptop & a webcam pretty much, or is it a lot more technical?

i havent tried mic on booth but if channel 1 is playing and headphones on channel 2 it changes over 2 C2 if a song is playing if not then silence

Yes, but as backup/second rig, I haven't used it in anger for a while. I'll have a check tomorrow.

[DJWilson]

Theres no need for capital pal. I was going from past experience with a lot of club mixers. Pioneer are one example, ive used Formula Sound which also done that. If you look at alot of clubs they have the dj mixer into a primary output mixer (usually a FOH type) with the mics directly into that. Atleast thats what ive came across in nearly all the clubs i worked over the years. Anyway it doesnt come out of G&Js mixer so its not a problem. :)

Urgent. Set headphones to master. This runs all channels to booth out. Checking on mic soon.

Edit: DJ Mic runs to booth also on this mixer.
