is it possible to use outboard gear?

[roblindsay]

i was wondering how i would use outboard gear/plugins ie, reverbs, compressors etc. Or if its even possible to do so?

cheers

The way I'm working around this, is by hard wiring all my outboard gear into my patchbay and then with a send out from PT into my outboard gear, and then re-recording that signal into PT. If I want to record live with outboard stuff I just route my mic outs to the outboard and then into PT.

I know of no other way, but I may just be lazy to find out.

1. Yes, it is possible and you just need to make a loop from one of your no used outputs, connect it to them and set your pathways in PT to accept the loop.

2. If you have a patch bay, just hook the outboard gear to that, and then you can physically patch them in.
