Greetings, folks:
This is my first post here and it's...well, long. I've been banging my head against this for a couple of weeks. Repeatedly. Resources already found: "How do I use an external effects processor with CueMix?" and "Using Digital Performer With External Hardware." Plus the DP manual.
But: no dice. Clearly I'm lacking some fundamental understanding, but I hope that someone can take the time to walk me through this, because my usual method of "read a bunch and punch buttons" has failed. Now I am frustrated, and sad.
What I'm using:
What I'm doing:
What I want to do:
What's plugged where:
It's the software setup in DP that's got me stymied. I've tried a send to analogue 1/2 from Mic 1/Mic 2, and recording analogue 3/4, and a bunch of other things, but it's clear that I just...don't...know...stuff. I just get weird results, none of which I want.
If some kind knowledgeable soul can take some time to walk me through what I'm doing wrong, I'd be most grateful. (If you're curious about what I do musically, I'm user ianwood12 on Soundcloud)
Many thanks,
Ian Wood

What I'm using:
- Digital Performer 4.61
- MOTU 828 MKII
- 2 Shure SM81s
- External effects box(es)
What I'm doing:
- Recording 12-string acoustic guitar via two SM81s into the 828's Mic 1/Mic 2 inputs
What I want to do:
- Record the Mic 1/Mic 2 inputs dry
- Be able to process those signals through the external effects boxes
- Mix the dry and wet signals as needed
What's plugged where:
- 2 SM81s into 828MKII Mic 1/Mic2
- 828MKII analogue out 1/2 into external effect box(es) L/R inputs
- Effect box(es) L/R outputs into 828MKII analogue inputs 3/4
