Channel inserts as direct outs

[MichaelF]

Hey gang, hope someone can point me in the right direction. I'm still learning this stuff step by step.

My setup:

Recording guitar, bass, 3 drum mics, 2 vocal mics
In to separate channels (8 available) on Behringer 2004A mixer
Using Aux 1 send/return to effects unit (M-One) for vocals
Recording to Omni/IO Delta 66 card (4 ins).

We've been basically recording "live" since the mixer only has
Main out (L/R) and an Alt3/4 out. That's been fun but now we
want to use the channel inserts so we can multitrack. That seems to work but I noticed that the "effects" are not being recorded. I suspect that the "inserts" are recording the signal prior to the effect being returned from the M-One? Any suggestions? If you need more info, please let me know.

An insert is usually at the beginning of the chain... The fx return at the end. Bad luck

You might try to add the FX later, or record them at the same time using a modified insert cable that splits your signal off and feeds it back into the mixer... But with only four inputs you'll either have three trakcs and a mono verb or two tracks and a mono verb.

Anyway its recommended to record dry...

Thanks Axel, I guess that makes more sense anyway!

you should record clean anyway... and put effects in later.
