Hi, thanks to you both for the replies: dmxlights - yeah I was additionally going to experiment with the USB recording on the desk as this looks useful also - plan is to record main L/R bus to USB on board recorder, and have 2 mixes going to to omni's to give me an ambient+mic record track and a instrument record track lamplighter - that link is a brilliant resource - saving that one for sure! I'll get the appropriate cable or solder one up. Thanks once again. Andrew

Hi, just a quick question I hope someone can confirm. I've been using analogue desks for years, but the voluntary group I am involved with now have a Yamaha LS9, which I find a great, easy to use desk. I'll soon be using the LS9 as part of a concert, and for one output I need to output to an unbalanced (1/4") input. Since the LS9 only has XLR's Omni out, I'm just looking at the best way to do this. Is it as simple as using an XLR > TS / unbalanced 1/4" cable, and just pulling levels back slightly? Furthermore, I usually record from 2 aux's > 2xRCA inputs on a USB interface on my laptop (I use the L and R tracks for a slightly different mix so I can post-edit, hence two auxes) - would a 2x XLR >> 2x RCA cable work in this instance? Thanks for any advice.
