On M-audio fast track pro "insert" channels
On M-audio fast track pro "insert" channels only work for "mic / nstr" channels or for the whole output signal?

Re: On M-audio fast track pro "insert" channels
Inserts are for the input. They are before the A>D conversion. What is the issue?

Re: On M-audio fast track pro "insert" channels
albee1952 if I connect the compressor via "STEREO JACK + 2 MONO JACK", what will happen in the end?

Re: On M-audio fast track pro "insert" channels
Whatever input you have should go thru the compressor

The fact is that when I connect the compressor, it only receives a signal from the "mic / Instr" inputs, but not from the PC.
And I assumed that with the insert channel only works with "mic \ instr". |

#1-unless you have some very high-end hardware, using a plugin will meet or beat any inexpensive hardware(Alesis, Behringer, DBX......) #2-to use hardware inserts in Pro Tools, you need an interface with at LEAST 4 inputs and 4 outputs(2 outputs will always be dedicated to your monitors) as hardware routing can only be done with matched IO(IOW, output #3 with input #3. output #4 with input #4) #3-using hardware inserts requires delay compensation, which you must calculate and set manually. #4-using hardware inserts is not likely to make better recordings. Having a lot of skill and experience makes better recordings If you want to insert an EQ or compressor WHILE recording, that's fine, but be careful with a few things: #1-don't use too much compression on the way in. You can always add more later(love those plugins) but its pretty impossible to get rid of too much #2-if you use an EQ on the way in, will you be able to remember/match the settings weeks or months later when you decide to re-sing some phrase that's bugging you
