Re: equalizing via my mixer
Best thing to do is to try to replicate the settings on the channel EQ on your mixer with the Digi 4 Band EQ or other EQ plug ins such as Waves Ren EQ/ Q10 EQ. This also gives an insight into how EQ works with different sounds/mixes. Also read as much as you can about EQ.
EQ Tips EQ Tips2 Quality (& expensive?)outboard EQ & Reverb still sound better to most ears than plug ins, however the Digi stock plug ins can get great results as well. In fact the EQ on your mixer might still be worth using, you can clean up the hiss after you have sent the track back to the mixer for EQ treatment.

Re: equalizing via my mixer
"that good sound" is just sound that, well, sounds good, or highly eq'd to the point were it sounds near professional. i would like to route a track to my mixer, then mess with the eqs on that and have it keep those settings...

Re: equalizing via my mixer
If your mixer has line-in's and direct outs, wich are post-eq it is easy. Just choose a plugin, but instead of plugin, choose i/o and choose a port (lets say 3). this will rout the audio out of output 3 and back into input 3. After that it will flow through your protools fader....so its a bit like an insert on an analog mixer...
To find out if your direct out's are pre or postfader is simple. Do the routing "trick" and dial in some extreme eq....you should be able to hear it... Some mixers are switchable for pre or post eq on their direct outs... Hope this helps

Re: equalizing via my mixer
After mixing record it back in PT as a new track.
Then you can delete the old one. Maybe you have to nudge it a little bit ( latency). Just an idea. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Pieter |

Re: equalizing via my mixer
ptrbas & Pako,
Is niet erg hoor, als iets uitgelegd wordt door meer mensen, dan is het meestal duidelijker. En daar gaat het om..... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] (Its ok, if somthing gets explained by more then one person, it is probably easier to understand. And that's what counts... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ) PS. Dutch isnt included with the babelfish translator...

Not trying to bash you, just suggesting an alternative method to the madness of recording. Hope this is helpful. |

Re: equalizing via my mixer
Well, he was suggesting the extreme EQ just to see if the send routing was working. But your method of EQing is good. Try not to use it at all, but then make the bands a little wide and use it gently when you do.
