Hello everyone,
Been here reading occasionally over the years, and a lot recently... much information and help with my 388 has been passively received. But now I'm in a spot where I need to be active w/ a question.
I am wanting to (non-destructively) sum the two main outs from my 388 and my M-308. More specifically, I'd like the main stereo buss from the M-308 to leave pre-fader and come into the 388 to be summed and controlled by its mains fader during mix-down. I'm thinking a simple pigtail wire and connector sneaking out somewhere without damage from the 308 and a similar pigtail/receptacle on the 388 side to receive it and plug in when its needed. Pretty sure it is doable and looking at the schematics and PCB's it probably is straight forward for some people here. However, I'm just not sure how to go about the circuitry side of it. Resistors needed? / switch needed? or could it be just plug and play?
Here is a quick breakdown of the set-up and workflow that's in progress: Currently tracking on 388. Soon & hopefully will be dumping some tracks through a MOTU 1224 into Audition using a MOTU MIDI Express XT as the SMPTE middleman with Audition slaved to the 388. (btw / I really appreciate some of these 12+ year old threads here that continue to help to this day.... I'm looking at you SweetBeats). During mix down I'd like to be able to treat the 388 and M-308 and a single desk with the tape tracks being mixed right there on the 388 and the Audition/MOTU coming in on the 8 ins of the 308. The Mains will then go out to a Teac A3300SX-2T for final. As of right now I'm keeping AUX and Effect busses separate on the two desks but who knows, if this plug idea works I guess I could also sum those as well as an option.
Any and all thoughts and ideas on this problem would be very welcome,
Thanks all
