I've found better sound quality is to be had by applying FX (namely reverb) from my outboard mixer than from my DAW. I can record back in to the DAW but only the sum of what comes from the DAW is possible, because the computer just can't output more than 2 channels. I'm nearly there... Nearly...! The results are wonderful but I want to take this to the next level and split the channels from the DAW somehow and record them simultaneously (but at different levels & EQ through the outboard mixer) through the mixer onto...
Onto what...?
How do I rig this? will I need a 4track recorder? And if so, do I rig it to send to the DAW or the other way around (from the DAW to the recorder?). I need to hear what's being recorded and what I'm recording onto.
Could I record one track onto CD then have another track coming out of the DAW and back into the DAW and record the two together (through the mixer)? Or will I need two CD players? Or should I buy a digital 4-track instead? what about 4 CD players?! They are cheap enough these days.
Does any of this make sense?
Basically, I want to do analogue mixing, outside the DAW but using the DAW...
No... try again...
Ah sod it. I've lost myself...
You know what I mean... Don't you???
