some of those old echo chambers I have to to some of my tracks, just to see how
they sound against my plugin echoes.
You don't need an outboard mixer to do this. All you need to do is
send a track (or mix of tracks, channels on which you'd turn up the
Aux Send feeding the effect if you had a mixer) out the DAW to the
efeect, connect the effect output to a DAW input, and record it. Then
you'll have a track of the effect which you can mix in at whatever
level you choose (the funcitonal equivlaent of turning up the Effect
Return control on the mixer). It's a bit cumbersome to do this in real
time so you can hear what changes to your effect processor settings
do, but with the proper combination of monitoring controls, it's
possible on most systems.
VERY interesting suggestion Mike, I hadn't even concieved of that possibilty. Thanks.
I can see that in for a long session trying to figure out how to route all of this thru my
MOTU card. It took me months to figure out to route it
when I first got it, all by trial and error, and I made up routing mapes and templates I
saved on my PC, because I never actually understood the
logic of it all. It was always an accident when I finally figured out how to get my signal
from one place to another, and without drawing up some instructional
maps, I never would have remembered how to do it again. .
