How do I do it and what do I need?

HI,

I posted a similar question a few years ago as I was changing my set up. I had the intention of going with outboard reverb at that time, but the cost was too prohibitive.

I've always used plugins in the past. I'd like to use a couple of outboard processors with Cubase 3 SX.

My question is pretty simple. Is there a way to connect outboard gear to use as track plugs without using up my 2 channels of A/D and D/A?

Okay, so I have a Behringer board I use before the interface. I use this so I can do some EQ on the board, level, and subgroup when necessary. I'd like to use some single channel and dual channel mic preamps but I'm not sure how to use it in conjunction w/ the board? Do I use an insert on the board to bypass the board's preamp?

I've got a DAW that has onboard pre's. No channel inserts, so there is really no way to get by going through the pre's.

Hi there, I am having probs with routing my out board fx to my 002.
I have a Soundtracs Topaz console 32 ch, urei compressors,roland tape machines, a fairchild reverb unit & a ANT w695b eq + a host of other
analog equip.
Want I want to do is use my original tracks and re record them in realtime using my effects as we produce dub style music.

IF I want to add compression with an outboard compressor post tracking, do I *HAVE* to run the line out of digi002 to the compressor and back into a new track in Protools?

OR is there a way to insert the compressor into the signal chain of the pro tools track and bypass(or not) at will similar to plugins?

Thanks.

When mixing to two track or mastering on my outboard gear, should my meters be moving to -6 for mixes and 0 for mastering, my outboard meters seem to move slightly, just a little, when played through, does this mean that I'm not working the outboard gear enough, or the music going into the outboard gear is not loud enough to make the meters move?

I don't have a patchbayright now, and I was hoping someone could offer some suggestions on how to route my gear. I just got two new pre's, two compressors, and an ad/da converter. Should I connect the compressors to use them while tracking with the pre's, or route the ins and outs to the converter so I can use them as inserts while mixing?

I'm thinking about purchasing Digidesign's LE rack. I have a bunch of outboard gear (ie EQ, Compression, etc). I've looked on the back for aux in's and didn't notice any. Does it work well with outboard analog gear.
