Multimix 8 USB 2 external effects processor question

[Simon DoubleU]

Hi Folks,

I’m using a DAW for my recording, and I’m trying to find out if there’s a way for the signal that’s sent via the USB cable into the mixer to then be sent out to an external effects processor. The Alesis manual says the USB signal is received as a 2-Track in input, and treated the same except without EQ, pan etc. I’m hoping this means it can be sent to an external effects processor using the aux send and return side of things, in the same way a normal input signal is. But try as I might, I can’t find a way to make this happen.

Thanks in advance,

Simon.

CONNECTIONS


•USB 1.1 Stereo input/Output for PC (Windows XP or Vista) and Mac (OS X).
•All 1/4" TRS except as noted: Mic in x 4 (XLR), mono line in x 4, stereo line in x 4, aux sends x 2, stereo aux returns x 2, stereo main out, stereo control room out, headphone out.
•2-track stereo in and out (RCA).

Don't see why not.
You have two auxiliary sends there. Pre & Post fader.
This one ◦aux send B (post-fader, onboard or external effects) should do it for you.
But you do it before it goes to your DAW.
Anyone?
