I'm looking at getting some hardware processors to help with mixdowns and effects on some software instruments. I've never used anything other than the software devices so bare with me...
I've got an M-Audio 2496 soundcard which only really has phono I/Os & a MIDI I/O for connecting to external hardware. I'm trying to work out how I'd go about routing the instruments in Reason through the hardware processors through a mixer, and whether it's even possible, and also how I'd go about mixing down a track in Reason to include the effects from the devices.
This is the gear I'm looking at getting:-
Mixer: http://www.dv247.com/mixers/mackie-profx8-live-usb-mixer--57547
Processors: http://www.dv247.com/studio-equipme...ter-stereo-sound-enhancement-processor--38125
http://www.dv247.com/studio-equipme...zer-pro-digital-multi-effects-processor--4982
The way I was thinking of working it would be to hook the phonos from the soundcard into the tape-in on the mixer, then route the FX send through the processors, assign the instruments from Reason to the mixer channels and run the processors back to the SW returns to record to the track. Have the monitors hooked up to the main out on the mixer and hook the tape out back to the phono-ins on the soundcard to record the entire mix.
This is probably all total rubbish because I honestly don't have a clue what I'm talking about or how to work it, so any ideas would be great
