i finally got it hooked up after 3.5 hours of straight research on the web but now i have a stupid little problem that i have..

evey channel has 4 aux nobs and they say pre on one side and post on the other
i have 4 aux sends and 4 effect returns...
if i was to hook up an eq or a comp would i hook it up from the aux send to the in of the eq and the out of the eq to the effect in?

i have been reading and eveybody says to put it in the channel insert but does that mean that i need an eq for every track in the mixer?

The AUX knobs work both ways depending on whether you turn it left or right. Turn it to the left it is a level for pre. Turn it to the right it is a level for post. AUX are used for FX not dynamics. If you were to put an EQ or a compressor into the AUX it would sound bad. The inserts are for compression. You already have EQ on each strip why would you want to add more?:confused:
 
Hey elicantu, man, you are asking the questions that result from facing a BIG board. Take it slow and LOOK at a block diagram Look in the manual for your mixer to see the signal path for every question you have. If you don't have a manual, get one as soon as you can, maybe on ebay. Without it, you, and everyone else is guessing what you arre trying to do. Its like building an engine. If you don't know the fireing sequence, you are shit out of luck. :)
 
man i've been trying to get that manual like crazy..the only one i found was on ebay and it was 40 bucks and it was a photocopy of the real one.
 
some dude just sent me one pdf so im very happy :)
but thanks anyway hoops
i guess what im gonna end up doing is having my comp and just switching the trs cable from insert to insert and compress 1 at the time.
