Much Thanks to Track Rat - But!!"!

[S.C.U.D]

Thanks that's Class. Sorry to be thick here, I get the part about the Y conector and the input being both send and recieve. But i'm
a bit lost here (see below)


"Check your documentaion for the correct pin out of the connector (tip=send, ring=recieve or whatever). Just plug the stereo end into the insert and the appropriate mono's to the ins and outs of the compressor."

I don't really understand what you mean. I have checked the manual and the side chain states - Tip=return and ring=send - again i've no idea what this actually means.

Sorry to be a thorn in your side Track Rat but needs must and i've some serious recording to do.

Your help and expertise is greatly appreciated.

The tip of a stereo (or TRS) connector is the tip. The ring is the little ring part in the middle. Look at the connector, you'll see it.

First figure out which end of the Y cable the tip goes to and which the ring goes to, then follow your documentation to connect your equipment. (e.g. tip = return, ring = send)

or you could randomly try one end into the input, one end into the output, and if it doesn't work - switch them around. There's only two possibilities, and only one of them will work.

This is very true.

That's the patented "Lopp technique!"
