It shouldn't be a problem. Instead of taking the output of the mixer to a PA system you would take it to a recording device such as a tape machine, CD burner, hard drive, etc.

What equipment should you use like a PA system and mixer and will you need for a gigging rock band?

PA system, microphones, cables and stands for the vocalist(s). Amplifiers and cables for all electric instruments. FLIGHT CASES for all instruments, or at LEAST the sturdiest cases you can get. Some means of recording shows for later review and critique. A mixer (or mixer amp/powered mixer) may not be necessary, but can be helpful; have someone who's not onstage (i.e. an engineer or board op) with the band to work it. A van or truck to carry equipment to shows is a plus. Brand names and vintage of equipment may vary widely. Do sound checks on-site if at ALL possible, before a show.

Can I run a mixer through my powered mixer for drum mics?

Yes. In fact, I would recommend doing this instead of just running the mics through your band's powered mixer. That way, all your drum sounds (pre-mixed) will fit into just one input on your band's powered mixer. It takes about a minimum of 6 or 7 mics to capture a drum kit properly and that's a hell of a lot of inputs to be using on your band's P.A. Just run the mics through your own mixer, then run your mixer's "Main 1" output to your band's P.A. input. Use a balanced cable. Also, if the mixer that you are using is unpowered, then get yourself a couple powered monitors to run directly off of it so you can have some monitoring without using one of the the P.A. monitors. If your drum mixer IS powered, however, just get yourself some speakers and you've got yourself some monitors. In a nutshell, I recommend getting a small powered mixer for your drum mics (something with 100W minimum) with unpowered monitors running right off of it (use the "Main 2" output). Connect the mixer's "Main 1" output to your band's P.A. system for the final mix. But remember, if you do it like this, you have to dial in a good mix on your drum mics through your own little mixer because the sound guy will only be able to adjust the volume of the drum kit AS A WHOLE through the main P.A. system. This is what I do and it works very well.


Where do you use microphones?

You can use them in a recording studio, at a concert, playing rock band, or anywhere where you want to record your voice to be heard.

What do you use to beat cake mix?

I use a mixer, either a hand mixer or a stand mixer. If you have neither one may use an old fashion egg beater or a whisk. If one does not have that a large spoon will work it just means a little extra effort.
