Tip Ring Sleeve is Left
Tip Sleeve is Right
The tip is... well, the Tip of the plug. The sleeve is the ground or outer shell.

theres one little piece that sticks out and one long one that eventually raps around the cable.

/------------III----  <1 metal piece that sticks out
\------------III_________II < longer metal piece that         s ticks out, "II" raps around cable

Do you follow my crappy drawing??? ^^^

I think I've got it.
A cable to go directly from a balanced TRS output on the mixpad to the XLR input on the recorder? You should start with a microphone cable rather than a guitar cable. It's about impedence at this point.

Balanced uses 3 wires.
A pair of wires sourounded by a sheild to reduce/eliminate Radio Frequencies. Microphone cables are typically balanced. Guitar cables are not.
