thanks for your replies...however..
Thank you very much for your replies, but, what makes this problem such a bear is that I am using INSERT cables, and I cannot switch them end for end as the 3630's have dual channel left and right jacks (in and out), and only one cable end would be going to the 3630 under those circumstances. It is also worth noting that the Mackie 24/8 bus cuts the channel signal off from the channel fader when the insert jack (on the channel) is used. The Mackie manual does not explain (clearly) how to return the processed signal to the channel (or the main mix, for that matter). Can you get back to me on these issues?...if I call Mackie they will talk over my head and I will go away with nothing.Thanks again very much.
