Default Re: How to connect external effects to M-box pro

A little more info would be helpful. Do you have the new Mbox 3 Pro, or the old Mbox 2 Pro? I assume it's a stereo reverb? And does it have digital connections as well as analog?

I'm going on the assumption it's the new Mbox 3 Pro.

If it's analog connections, your best bet is to go from Mbox Pro line out 3-4 to the reverb, and then come back from the reverb to line in 3-4 on the Mbox.

Then, in Protools, set up an aux track, and create a send to that aux track from the track you want to send through the reverb.

On the aux track, in the insert section, instead of selecting "plug in" or "buss", you select "I/O". There, you can choose output 3-4. Now your signal is running through the reverb, just as if it was a plugin. You adjust your wet/dry mix using the send fader on the track you sent to the aux track.

Assuming you do it this way, then on your actual reverb unit, whatever sound you're using, make sure it's set to 100% wet.


If your reverb has digital connections, then use the digital spidf connections on your Mbox to and from the reverb unit. Set up everything the same way, only on the aux track, when you select I/O in the inserts, select "spidf" instead of 3-4.
