My current set up is as follows:

2. AKG Perception 200 condenser mic plug into- Mic Amp output from Mic Amp
In-put to Track 1 of Mackie DFX-6 channel mixer.

3. Mackie DFX-6 channel mixer- Main out-put (L/R) (2 XRL Mic cables) connected to in-put mic 1Left and mic 2Right of Sonar External USB Sound Card.

4. Roland monitors- out-put (RCA Cord) plugged into Sonar External USB Sound Card.

I'm guessing you do all your tracking and mixing from the Mackie board because it looks like you are just dumping a stereo mix to your sound card.

With that Mackie mixer you need a Y cable. 1/4" TRS----> to two 1/4"TR jacks.

Connect the 1/4" TRS into the insert on the channel you want to compress. Connect the "Tip" side of the Y cable into the send on the compressor. Connect the "Ring" side of the Y cable to the return on the compressor. I'm pretty sure its in the owners manual.
