Hi there! I've got a question for you guys! As far as i understand the professional way to connect the effects (especially reverbs/delays) is to place them in the "aux send" of the mixer after the signals already passed the pre (exception for the compressor), usually the effects designed for this use are sold in a rack format like the lexicons, alesis etc and have 1/4 jack line inputs because that's that's usually the kind of connection that comes out of the "aux send" of the mixer. All good so far, BUT.
BUT what happened is that all the new effects from boss, tc helicon, digitech etc... seem to be designed to be placed right after the mic and before the mixer and my question is: "Would i loose sound quality if i use one of those with reverbs/delays etc.. before the mixer? Isn't that the wrong place for an ambience effect?!"
I was in particularly looking at the reverb/delay Boss Ve1 which only input is an XLR mic with mic sensitivity settings, phantom power etc.. which makes you think they want you to place it right after the microphone and not in the "aux send" of the mixer like i was taught to normally do with ambience effects. I'm confused, help
