I have just set up a new studio which is rather nice and im trying to get my head arund the best and easiest way to run everything....
Heres my setup.
Macbook with logic pro, and a mbox pro....
Mackie 1604 vlz with a fostex r8.
Im using the pre amps on the mackie desk as i think they are better than the mbox (possible first mistake as this seems to be making things harder for me...), from the direct outs into the r8 inputs, r8 outputs into the track line inpits 9 and up.... running the sub outputs into the aux ins of the mbox so i can track everything through the r8 and straight into the computer without messing around with anything. Heres my problem. When i record into the macbook, through the mbox, i only get track on one side, left, when im going into the mbox via left and right aux in signals. Im coming out of the mixers 3 and 4 sub outputs, so what am i doing wrong? im recording 2 tracks into tracks 1 and 2 of the desk and when i try to seperate them in logic, the panning doesnt work and they stay to the left.
Im not the most intelligent with this sort of thing so please, treat me with kid gloves, im sure the answer is obvious.
Thanks in advance for any one who reads and can give advice... Perhaps this isnt even the best way for me to work?
