TRS can go into 'TS' just fine, right? yes, if your need is to take a signal from the portastudio and get it into the computer, just use a TS 1/4" cable. most of my stuff is unbalanced and do this all the time, it works fine. IIRC the deltas are designed to work balanced or unbalanced, as is a lot of modern "prosumer" gear. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
