Ok, so I just went out and purchased my first Preamp. I've always milked everything out of the pretty decent preamp built into my 18i20 Focusrite audio interface, but I realized it was time for something new.

Hi there

I searched and found some really good posts. However, I would like to get a bit of specific advice before I shell out on a job lot of cables and was wondering if some of you could impart some wisdom regarding balanced/unbalanced/stereo jacks? The following are things I think I know mixed with a question or two so please chip in where needed. Please!

Okay. Here goes:

I dove in head first ! I'm a musician songwriter hooking up a new digital studio,and I need some advise on routing my signals through my equip. Behringer FX 2442 digital board, stereo 31 band EQ, dbx stereo comp. limiter, Lexicon MPX 500 EFX processor, 48 point balanced patchbay,Pro Tools 002 Rack. Any help would be greatly appreciated by this old analog guitar picker. Thanx ; RonnieC

Ok. here we go again..

I have heard that you can "customize" your mixer in R.ed.. How much can you customize it?

I suppose that you can have dynamic FX's on the mixer. can you have your plug's pre compressor? or pre compressor post EQ? how about: Plug>Comp>Plug>gate>Eq ?

In other words.. what can you do when talking signal flow?
