Why the 4x4 sound card?
I'm using a Mackie 1202 for PC
looping, not only does it solve
the problem of monitoring sound sources
without recording them, it
also solves the problem of monitoring the output
of the looper without
it recording itself (the bad kind of
feedback).
I'm not standing in front of it right
now, but the routing is
something like this:
- various sources into
the mixer, including the PC sound card output
- mixer main outs
to the PC sound card input
- mixer "control room" outs goes to
power amp and speakers
- PC track has Mute button pressed which
redirects it to the special
"Aux 3-4" stereo
bus
- Monitoring section has some button pressed that causes
both
the main outs and and Aux 3-4 sent to the
control room outs
The trick is to "mute" the track
containing the PC sound card output,
which removes it from the main outs so
the PC won't record itself,
but then route it to the control room outs so you can hear it.
You could then use the mute button on
other tracks to selectively
remove them from what the looper is recording,
but still hear them.
