Effects

[mndog75]

I have acheap 4 track recorder as well as a yamaha mixer, my question is after I power up my condenser mic I would like to add effects to it (for my vocals) but the mixer just has aux no effects loop. Also can I use my compressor guitar pedal to do the trick? all I want to do is just add some delay and some compression, but cant figure how to hook the pedal up to get the effect I need on the channel .

The aux send IS the effects loop (aux send "sends" signal to your effects unit and it is recovered at the aux return.

Track rat has posted an answer but it doesn't appear on the forum list; however, it is visible by scrolling down in the reply slot.

You can run your mic [with phantom power applied?] into your pedal compressor -- not familiar with that type but I use an RNC.

From the compressor your run and out into your recorder and you will have compression.

T.Rat answered the way into your 4 tracker.

Or, you can run your mic into an outboard effects unit, out from the effects unit into your recorder and you will get your fx with the vocal; however, most folks add the reverb after recording.

See if you can see the post by T. Rat.
