Rack mount equipment set up

[ScratchinBear]

im use all my rack mounted equipment through the aux channel

im aux send to the gear and back through the aux return and then i use the aux settings on the channels to allow the channel to be effected

is this a good way to do that ?

Don't post the same thing in 2 different forums. People round here will get VERY pissed.


Yes, you typically run your effects from the aux sends/returns on your mixer.

How does it sound??

I would use a seperat aux for each piece of equipment I want effects from....
i.e. 2 single effects processors

If you run them all together through 1 aux, you're getting effects (or whatever) from each piece of equipment in the single chain...

I hope I guessed right

yeah but for a compressor you would use the inserts on your mixer ...correct?

 

[ScratchinBear]

thanks you

thats good to know im running the equipment correctly

But do you run the compressor through the inserts?

 

[Pughbert]

If you run a compressor through the aux you will also be hearing the uncompressed audio playing aswell as the compressed. I run a compressor in line.

 

[ScratchinBear]

my mixer

my mixer has inserts were it says (tip in) (ring out) or visa versa i forgot. but i thought that mean that you use a stereo cable and one side of the cable is a output and the other side of the cable a input

is this idea correct?

 

[Nick The Man]

yeah its called a "Y" cable stereo on one side than it splits to two mono

 

[ScratchinBear]

the "Y" cable just splits it into 2 cable
why do that you can just use the one stereo cable it basically splits the signal inside itself

 

[Nick The Man]

because one has to go to the output and the other has to go to the input ....will you just listen sometimes

 

[ScratchinBear]

that makes more sense
