submix

I have Pro Tools LE mPowered 7.3 on a capable PC and have a few basic questions I could use some help on a few things...

If I were to use another Console for a sub mixer,To hook it up to the main console,would it be as easy as going out the master bus of the sub mixer to 2 channels line input on the main console?

I'm just looking for what some of the others here put into their drum submix out to a compressor.



I'm going for as much as a Bonham sound(I know, what a shocker. I know, you need John Bonham) as I can get.

Not sure what is the most standard practice for this, still new to it.

Since the Omni can't handle all my Input needs I have decided to purchase a Behringer UB 1202 mixer. I first thought I would just use the Behringer to handle the extra modules I had. But now I wonder if it would be better to plug all my instruments and Mic into the Behringer then go OUT of the Mixer into the Omni?

Can someone explain these to me? I've had experience with neither, and I know I'm going to need to know what the two are and how to approach them very soon.



Thanks in advance.

Hi!

seems punch and punch and squeezed drums are the word of the moment. I have never been a big fan of this tchnique but..

How do you guys do drums submix?

a) Use a multiband compressor, limiter thru a stereo representation of the whole key?

b) do you just sub kick snare and toms?

Hi!



Can I do this internally or I need to do it externally? what I mean is can I free up some tracks by mixing them, applying effects and recording them to a new and "free" track internally?



Cheers
