Using multiple inputs

shadi · Jul 17, 2005, 05:13 PM

Hei.

I know it's impossible to record trough AC97 using multiple inputs(line-in and mic-in simultaneously) but what I would like to do is to record using line-in while being able to hear mic-in (so it would just pass from physical input to physical output). Any suggestions according to this topic are welcome

The situation itself is simple: I'm recording vocals and the singer is in the other room headphones on. So I would like to be able to speak with him using my computer microphone.

Ah, and the soundcard is SB Live! 5.1 (SB0060)

So do you have to speak with the singer in the middle of a song or are do you want to talk to him / her at the end of a take?

End of the take would be allright.

Are you using a real world Mixer?

If so, just plug your mic in one of the inputs and bring the gain up and down when needed.
