OK, this is my dilemma:
I have already recorded stuff to my Yamaha MD8. I own a Behringer Composer Pro. I know that I am 'supposed' to hook up my reverb via Aux Sends and Returns....no problem. I am told (and it makes sense...) that I am not supposed to hook up my compressor this way, because the Aux Sends are Post Fader, and therefore the original, non-compressed signal, will be in my mix...hence, defeating the purpose of my compressor (to some extent at least, even if I crank my compressed signal and keep my original signals fader to a minimum).
Anyways, so I was given the instructions, to hook up my compressor via the track line-outs from my recorder...which are pre-fader and pre-EQ. This made sense to me. I would loop it back in and be able to still use the fader and EQ AFTER my compressor....no biggy right....wrong! The signal coming from the track line-outs (which are in RCA form) are so small, that my compressor won't even see them.
The only other thing I've thought to do, is use my compressor while tracking, but this really limits me and I want to use my compressor..................Properly. Can anyone help? Thanks. Greg.
