I know to some of you this my be a dum question... but i don't know
the answer and would appreciate any opinions.
Recently i got a Behringer X2442USB Mixer with 8 of the channels that
have "sidechain inputs". I'm using a DBX 166XSV
Gate/Compressor/Limiter and a Behringer FBQ3102 Ultragraph PRO EQ. I
can only plug one into the side chain at a time. Is it conventional or
acceptable to plug either of these 2 outboard units into the "effects
loop" being as you're adding more or less effect with a knob (as
opposed to in line)?
