Ok, so I probably have a high-enough end software based studio;
- Windows based PC with dual core AMD, 2gb RAM, lotsa space etc.
- Fireface400 interface (and an old saffire 24 pro)
- Cubase SX3 (bought it 6 years ago)
- Waves mercury (2008)
- UAD2 Quad with most plugs.
- FLUX plugins
- ALL Nomad Factory plugins
- Yamaha HSM50s (secondary)
- KRK VXT 8s (primary)
Now, I'm looking at getting a couple of low-end compressors such as the ART VLA 2 and the Chameleon 7720 - but the Fireface only has 2 TRS outputs left for me to use and 4 TRS inputs. So, my question is: Can I somehow connect the Saffire 24 to my Fireface and use the ins/outs on that while still using the converters on the Fireface???
If I can't do that, what do I need to do? I've seen in some larger studios they have something connected to the optical - then the rack gear is connected to that box instead... is that a patch bay or am I totally off?
Please let me know, I just want to know my options!
Thanks.
NOTE - I did search for some info on this but the threads that came up, either weren't answered or didnt give me info on this particular issue.
