Question
hello, i've purchased a 16 input mixer. i want to add multi-effects processors, does it hook up to the mixer? if so, what kind of wires do i need, where does it go, or if it doesn't, what do i do to hook up the processors. thanks for your time, jake.
Hey Jake, it all depends on the FX type. Compressors & EQ's would be connected to the individual channel inserts, while reverbs, delays etc. you would run on the auxiliary bus. Your mixer's manual will have hook up diagrams showing different configurations. Hope that helps, if you need anything else, just drop me a line.
Peace - J.

I specialize in Macintosh recording systems on OS X & am well versed in most of the available software titles relative to the platform. I can answer most questions about home recording in general such as: Mic placement, recording/mixing/mastering techniques, control room set up, acoustics & acoustical treatment & choosing the right equipment for specific recording applications. I do not answer PC related questions, or questions pertaining CD/DVD copying or ripping.

Experience
I have been working in studios for over 20 years both as a recurring artist playing on my own recordings & as a session musician, engineer & producer. I run a Mac based studio from my home, use mostly Logic or Garageband. I'll use Garageband for writing & Pre-Prod & move the project over to Logic afterwards. I also have experience using Pro Tools, Digital Performer, Ableton Live & many others. My preferences are Logic & Pro Tools & as such my area of expertise is focussed in these two apps. I'm also an IT guy, sysadmin & electronics technician so can help with technical questions relating to studio operation & maintenance.
