godfather_77 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I like to practice my guitar playing along with my MP3 player but find that I can't get a good mix between guitar and song or vice versa. I'm a total noob when it comes to using mixing boards. I have a Mackie Mix Series Mix8, HXStomp, Fioo X5 lossless mp3 player. How would I connect my X5 player and HX to the Mix8 so that I can control the mix for volume of the music and the guitar? I listen through headphones.

rd2rk Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Connect the MP3 to Line 3/4. Connect Stomp Outputs L/R to Line 5/6. In Global Settings Ins?ots set Return Type to Return - not essential but necessary if you use the FX Loops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godfather_77 Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 thanks I'll give it a shot! Do my headphones stay connected to the HX or through the mixer? Sorry what does Ins?ots mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Through the Mixer, for the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
