[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 133936, member: 211"] Re: Issue with Mackie 1604 Yes, you're doing it wrong. The 1/4" inputs are balanced connections. A balanced 1/4" connector looks identical to a stereo unbalanced 1/4" connector. If you use the stereo connection, it will connect the left and right channel out of phase, canceling out whatever is the same on each, leaving you with just the stereo separation. Vocals are generally panned center so they disappear. Instruments have more left right differential and stick around. What you need to do is use TWO channels when connecting a stereo device and have the correct cables to do so. [/QUOTE]
