    compressor and mixer with no inserts

    Hay guys, So I'm trying to setup my compressor with my mixer but since it doesn't have inserts i'm not sure what is my best option. 1) plug it into the 3-4 Alt outputs? but then how do i sidechain? 2) plug into a send-return aux bus? but since i have only 2 send/returns kind of want to keep...

    Some questions regarding recording and mixing

    nevermind i found out what i was doing wrong.. you need to change the 3/4 inputs in ableton to 'off' rather than 'in'.

    Some questions regarding recording and mixing

    Hi Guys, So I've been working ITB with ableton for a couple years, got kind of sick of staring at a monitor and clicking a mouse as its a little too like my day job, and didnt really find it that inspiring. Plus I wanted to be able to play out/do live PAs when I get good enough. So I went...
