Hi guys,

i need your help to explain me how can I do my set up,or maybe change any pieces of it....
I explain....

I recently discover the amazing world of those pedals effects after looking at the Minilogue set up on Ableton website....I tried one,plug it straight onto my synth and the result was really great....so,now i got few of them and wanted to know if it would be possible to use those with all my VSTi?
Is there a way with a certain set up to say,for example,i launch the Sylenth or the SH 101 plug out and to apply one of those pedal effect?
Is one of you having this kind of set up?

I got a RME fireface 800 which is already full on the OUT audio section....one TB3,one System 1,one TR8 and a Virus Ti are on the place...
Not very keen on those set up but do you think a mixer would help to do so?Or do I have to change my soundcard with a MOTU 24 I/O for example?

One of the pedal i got is midi IN equipped,how do you plug that too?I got a MOTU 128 express,all the named devices are set up onto it...

I already explained on a topics relative to AIRA instruments,i tried to plug those onto a USB 3 hub powered but no way to make it works,only way was to plug it straight to the Mac,which is only equipped with 2 USB.At the moment,one is for the Virus,the other one for the MOTU Xpress which i installed due to that problem.....
I'm a bit lost on how to set up all that stuff,any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks guys in advance

 

I'm confused. Don't you mean you INS are all used?

Get a patchbay. That will make things easier. Or just get a mixer...or both.

You can set up and add outboard routings in your DAW and/or audio interface software.

 

Hi Baxter..
hahaha,you see,i'm lost...you are totally right,that's my INs which are full,the OUTs goes to the speakers,right?
Ok,a patchbay,i'll check that...do you know any good ones?The mixer is necessary with it or it is a luxuous option?If needed,any good one too to target a bit my research...
Thanks

 

What patchbay you choose doesn't really matter (but I would go for a Neutrik over a Behringer anyway). What matters is what cables you use and how long they are, as this is where you might notice fidelity loss.

It's up to you if you think you need a mixer or not. I can't say what you need. A mixer is good if you need summing, sends/auxes, inserts, gain increase/decrease, EQ, etc etc.

Most pedals are mono (uses one(1) channel), except for spatial- and modulation effects (delays, reverbs, etc). But you can also use modulation effects ITB, after you have processed your mono signal.

 

I checked on youtube,google "patchbay"...wahouuu!It is another world!!!!hahahaha....so many vid's,tuto's.....i'll check that...yes,Beringher are good prices but quality maybe not there.....I'll check the Neutrik.
For the Mixer,i really need to see if I really need one....Midas Venice seems really promising,i've to investigate on that....
Thanks mate

 

Yo Baxter...
so after looking around,i came to a solution...don't think I'm an extrem guy!!!hahaha
