You're not an audio engineer unless you have a couple Y-splits in your toolbag, a couple more in your car and keep finding random ones in random places in your house! These things are so valuable! The only problem I found is with people's understanding of their use.. often I've seen them flipped around with a couple adapters or turnarounds and used to combine two outputs into one.. that is NOT how to use them. Rule of thumb is: “You can split 1 output into 2" “You cannot combine 2 into 1 input" For that, you would need something called a "summing cable" which uses a resistor network to prevent any back feed which is going to damage your instruments, mic, keyboard etc that you are trying to combine with whichever other output device. I often see people doing this with a stereo keyboard using TS y-splits. I guess they think that the two TS outputs from their keyboard will combine into the one TRS plug which they can plug into 1 channel on a mixer. Yeah it might sound like it's working, but eventually it won't work. And that's because that electrical backflow i mentioned earlier is slowly and systematically damaging that keyboards output circuit.. it does damage The circuitry and the effect is cumulative. So after a few occurrences even after a few months. All of a sudden, your keyboard stops working..
Thanks for this video but then I have a question, after using this analogy to. Split the vocal into the input, how then do we send to monitor monitor and FOH respectively?
Hi! I guess you'd use the buss buttons next to the fader of each channel (send one channel to Main L-R ; send other channel (monitor) to a submix - also, you could send it to an Aux OUT through the Aux knobs on the strip channel).
yeah yeah office from new york city, ive got one in hongkong, frankfurt, washington and denver, as well as in the one world trade center, ah fck i forgot kapstadt, sorry mate im such a busy man

Thanks Scott, always sharing useful tips with us. Very helpful especially for beginners
Useful for all levels
Glad it was helpful! I'll keep them coming...
Hi. I’m using this method for years, but on digital consoles you have trim on analog you need Y cable.
Really useful information i personally thankful for this soft patch video
Thank you Parag!
