I'm new to home recording, and I have a lot of questions,
first can anyone tell me how to hook up this to my digi 002 rack dbx 166xl compressor.

As I see it the Compressor has in back Channel 1 and Channel 2 With inputs and outputs on both channels

The Digi 002 Rack has a place where it says the reverb should go as I see it in place of reverb I could place Compressor. 5,6 is set for output 7,8 is set for input.

I have channel 1 inputs going to to 5 out on rack and channel 2 input going to 6 out of Digi 002 rack

and ch 1 out going to input 7 of rack and ch2 out going to input 8 of rack.

but when opening session playing and I choose I/O and choose anolog 7-8 i get no sound, what am I'm doing wrong?


Help!
 
what are you trying to compress?
is it signal that's being recorded, or is it a track that's already been recorded.
if it's a signal that is being recorded, just use the inserts on that channel.
if it's a pre-recorded track, choose channels 5 & 6 as the outputs of those tracks you wanna conmpress, then open two more tracks and have the inputs of those tracks 7 & 8. monitor those new tracks and voila. just make sure the output of the new tracks go to yer main stereo bus.
