Instruments such as keyboards/synths/digital pianos are generally outputted at line level when being recorded in a signal chain. Line level is the typical level used by most professional audio equipment. However, when categorizing analog cables there are two more instances we must consider: Balanced vs Unbalanced, and the level at which the signal is transmitted.Īs discussed in previous articles - there are three levels of signal that are transmitted via a cable: That said, this article will still touch upon a few digital cables that will often be just as required as a typical instrument cable (MIDI, USB, Thunderbolt, Firewire, Optical, etc.). Typically, the stars of the show in your music studio will be analog cables. There are two main types of cables: analog and digital.Īnalog cables work by sending information via a stream of electricity (an electrical signal) from one point to another.ĭigital cables work by sending information via a stream of binary code (1s and 0s) from one point to another. I get a) when the speakers are the default and b) when the soundbar is the default.What Actually Are Cables? How Do They Work? Digital vs Analog The a) and b) options are determined by which playback device is the Default. With the standard Windows setup, I have either:Ī) Buttkicker with soundbar but no surround sound orī) Soundbar with surround sound but no Buttkicker Buttkicker is not necessary when using the stereo speakers, the SW output is sufficient. I turn off the soundbar when not simming and I turn off the stereo speakers when I am simming. I want to have surround sound from the soundbar (for MSFS 2020) along with Buttkicker functionality. Buttkicker connected to 3.5 mm MB outputs via same splitter Stereo speakers w/SW connected to 3.5 mm MB outputs via splitterģ. Vizio soundbar (Dolby 5.1 configuration) connected to the MB HDMI portĢ. I want to use Voicemeeter, Voicemeeter Banana or Voicemeeter Potato - which ever is the most appropriate - to send all PC sounds to a) the HDMI port on my MB and b) the 3.5 mm outputs on my MB.ġ.
