I need an instruction on Aardvark Q10 soundcard and Presonus' BlueMax compressor set up. Q10 has 4 TRS inserts and BluMax has stereo ins and outs. Do I still need a Y cable? What cable goes to where, etc...

I have always put BlueMax between my guitar and the sound card and have never been using it as an insert and want to try it out.

I appreciate it, as always. :)
 
A TRS insert cable has Tip signal going to one tip of a TS-jack 'Y' cable, Ring going going to the other tip, Sleave is the common.
Use an insert for each of the two chanels for stereo signals, (but as you probably know, it's not two seperate mono compressors.)
My experience with the blueMax was, well, short. Seemed like almost all the presets had way too low thresholds, couldn't moderate the amount of compression enough in most cases. I'm going to try it again in an electric-accoustic guitar rig soon.:)
Let us know how it works out for you.
