Podcasting Question

[Forgotten Hero]

In episode 172, the huge DBE review, Mike said he "dacy-chained" his mixers. How did he do that?

I don't know how much you already know, so forgive me if this is too simplistic an answer.

"Daisy chaining" is where you link electronics together so that A is connected to B, B is connected to C, C is connected to D, etc.

I don't know why Mike did this, though, since I'm not knowledgeable about audio editing stuff.

It's actually "daisy-chain." It's a type of wiring scheme. I believe in this case mixed output from mixer A is output to mixer B, wherein that is registered as one input to mixer B and mixed with other inputs and output to mixer C and so on.

I don't know what mixers Mike uses, but if he was using a few four track Portastudios for instance and was trying to record ten people or so, he would daisy-chain the mixers together in order to mix all the inputs properly.

Thanks guys! I'll have to figure out how to do that, but I have a bit of a better idea now. If you're curious, I'm planning a giant school podcast with more than just three people on the panel. I do my school's podcast.

Ah, I see. That makes sense. Thanks!
