Question 1

Anyone tried with with thier portable synth rigs, like the Korg Volcas? How's the hum?

Accepted Answer

If you have hum with multiple sources by a ground loop isolator for $10.   I used this to connect 2 computers and one would hum.  I tried power conditioners and other but the $10 ground loop isolator worked.  I put it on the second channel.

Question 2

What are those "loop in  / loop out" connectors for?

Accepted Answer

Hi Patrick I. Donegan,Those connectors enable you to link multiple Loop Mixers to monitor each input device independently without affecting the mixed audio output (Cable will be made available in the future). It can be used for music groups and for Mix Minus purposes. Please contact us if you need additional information.Warmest regards,TrueToSource Customer Care

Question 3

Is this good for looping guitar and other instruments? If so, what adapters are needed?

Accepted Answer

Sure can, has 5 inputs and 1 output with a mater slide, all inputs and outputs are 1/8 plugs so you would have to adapt down from 1/4 inch, its also stereo in and out, so keep this in mind when you get your adapters, if your running to speakers you will need an amp before

Question 4

I have purchased this mixer to use with microphones recorded on my computer. I have the mic into the mixer, and mixer into computer. Why no sound?

Accepted Answer

Additionally, you might need to power the mics somehow.  Computer/consumer type mics usually have a battery or either require "plug-in power", which is around 5v if memory serves.  This unit does not provide that.  Pro grade mics use phantom power which is 48v, although many devices scrimp by with 12v, 18v, 36v, etc, since most pro mics can use anywhere from 11v to 48v.  So the adapter mentioned in the previous answer might electrically make the connections if you have a pro grade 1/4" TRS mic,  however, it's still not going to have any power.
