- We have a pretty good 24 ch. mixer, but the only
option is to plug every
instrument directly to the mixer. Is this right for instruments like basses,
or electric guitar, or what else?
- What's the difference between having a cable from the electric guitar
amplifier line output and instead putting a microphone in front of it?
The speaker in a guitar amp colours the sound. You can plugg a guitar
amp speaker into a hifi system, and you'll hear that it sounds very
different compared to a hifi speaker. This colouring is concidered good
in guitar amps. Also you should read the ongoing "OT: Using Linux as
Bass amp / preamp" thread.

- The mixer has for every channel a Canon or
alternatively a Jack input.
What are they meant for? That is, is a Canon connection more suited e.g. to
mics, or what else?
The Canon or XLR connections are balanced inputs, meaning the signal and
shielding is not connected. This is supposed to prevent
electrical noise.
