External effects

[GS-DK]

Hi

What's the best way to route tracks and (if possible) if you want to take the audio through an external effect like a Kaoss-Pad? I will like to process the audio (already recorded) and bring it back into PT. Any setup suggestions?

thank you

Send the audio to a hardware output (lets say stereo 3&4 ) instead of a normal output.
Create a channel with the input set to that inputs 3&4.
Connect your gear to outputs 3&4 and send it back into inputs 3&4.
Record-enable the new track, and start recording.

You probably will encounter latency, so after you recorded you may want to nudge the newly recorded audio to the left a bit.
I am not sure, but it could be that this method works with low-latency mode ON....

Hi

I want to do this on M-box - is it possible?

You'll have to use the Mbox S/PDIF i/o, which means you'll need an outboard D/A and A/D converter if the effects unit doesn't have a S/PDIF interface. The ART Dio is a cheap a/d d/a solution.

-Although it is possible to create a Hardware Insert using MBox hardware, it is not the ideal system to set this up due to its limited I/O combinations. Since S/PDIF Mirroring is always active with MBox, all tracks outputting audio will be routed into the EFX unit (via S/PDIF).

With that being said...If you want to create a hardware insert but do not want to process the entire session, you will have to mute all unwanted tracks and print the the output of the EFX unit (i.e. the processed result of the desired tracks) to another audio track to be used in the session.
