Reddit reviews Pyle-Pro PCBL43FT6 12 Gauge 6 Feet 3.5mm Male Stereo to Dual 1/4-Inch Female Mono Y-Cable Adapter, White, 105.6 x 14 x 0.8 inches

• I started out with just trying to get it going on my laptop with kjams & a microphone.
  
• But that didn't sound good and look good, so I hooked up my laptop to my tv through a receiver
  
• But using my mic through the laptop mic hole, caused a delay between the audio of the song and the mic
  
• This is why you need a mixer. You need the sound of the laptop and the sound of the mic to arrive at the same time. I got this one. Mic goes in channel one, laptop goes in channel 3 or 4 (get the right cable)
  
• That mixer's output goes into my receiver now. My receiver allows to get the audio from a different input than the video. This was essential in my setup. I have a basic yamaha 4 hdmi receiver. I turn it to hdmi1, but get the sound from one of the audio inputs, where the mixer goes into (get the right cable)
  
• sweet, now I have music and mic arriving in my receiver, and it's going to the speakers and the tv is displaying my laptop
  
• now people are tripping over the mic cable and they want a second mic
  
• get yourself some wireless mics. the ones i bought are no longer for sale but they are "dual channel" and "uhf" or something
  
• now you need some songs though I have to say, just opening youtube and searching a song title + ' karaoke' works pretty darn well as well
  
• and some disco lights!
  
• my friends like it and say it's the best home setup they know
  
  
  Btw, nice effort on the è but you want the other one: fiancé
  It's easy to remember: é the stripe goes on and so does the sound. è the stripe stops and the sound is short
  
  

That should be fine. It's possible to find it as a single cable too:

You may find you get a lot of hum or buzz, more than you do listening to the PC alone. This is probably caused by a difference in the ground between the PC and mixer. These sorts of devices can then be a very helpful addition:

One of this would do:

  If you want an external interface the 2i2 is a nice one and as you say it has two outputs. There are also some cheaper but decent quality interfaces. Tascam is a good brand to look for as well.

Let me clarify more:

I am trying to make it so the audio from two computers go through the mixer and from the mixer I will have one pair of headphones where I can hear both PC's audio playback into the one set of headphones.

So would it make sense to get two more of these cords and run them into the line in of the sound mixer and pujjt the 3mm jack into each one of the computers speaker-out (playback audio) on the motherboard.

From there could I plug my headphones into the sound mixer and hear both of the PCs that way?

If that seems a bit much and confusing to soak in I put together a photo to visually show you what I mean by what I stated^above:

It has a few uses but basically it could be used to hook up an ipod to play along with in the inputs and use the outputs for use with a powered amp or a sound board.

If it doesn't have a dedicated headphone jack you could also use this slot for headphones with a proper adapter.

you could just get a cable like this or this and use your computer's microphone port for recording. the quality of the audio and available sample-rate/bit-depth options will depend on how nice your computer's soundcard is. if you want to record each individual channel on your mixer (to allow the adjustment of levels and application of effects to specific tracks in post production) you will need a more advanced multi-channel audio interface. an iRig allows you to plug an instrument which has a 1/4" output into your iPhone's headphone jack, this wouldn't really help you as it only allows one channel and still leaves the analog to digital conversion to your computer's sound card. if you are looking for something better, explore the USB interfaces suggested in the other comments.

Well obviously you need the proper cables or adapters to go from the PO's stereo 3.5mm/1/8" output to the guitar pedal's mono 6.35mm/1/4" input. I would personally use a 1/8" stereo to dual 1/4" Y-cable like this because I happen to have a bunch of them already. But there are any number of solutions.

As for switching on the pedal... it needs to be powered and connected. The "on" switch is the foot toggle on the front. RTFM?

One note is that most mixers like this use 1/4 inch mono jacks instead of 3.5mm stereo cables.

If you're willing to spend $20-30 on splitter cables, you have more options for small/portable/cheap mixers.

Yea, you need one of these:

If you have a local music gear shop, they'll have it. I have the Hosa RCA-to-1/4" that I use to connect my DJ controller to my Alto TS215s with no problems. The center of the XLR input on the speaker is also a 1/4"

Would this be gud？http://www.amazon.com/Pyle-Pro-PCBL43FT6-Stereo-Y-Cable-Adapter/dp/B004G87FLY/
