Hi Sam.
For a stereo feed to and from your outboard device, your audio interface will need to have at least two inputs and four outputs. For mono, you’ll need 1 input and 2 outputs on your interface. The following example is for stereo.In your DAW, route the signal you want to process to the 2 outputs you will assign to the device. The other 2 outputs will be for your monitors.
The outputs from the device will be sent to the two inputs on your interface. Create 2 audio inputs in your DAW and assign them to the inputs coming from the device. You should now have a flow from your DAW to the device and from the device back into your DAW.
Does anyone else have an interesting story on how they got into the recording/mixing/audio business?
Hi Connor,
Excellent question. There are so many engineers and mixers out there who played an instrument before sliding behind a console or DAW. My first conscious recollection of an interest in machines was when I was in 7th grade. This was in 1965. A science teacher brought a very rudimentary ‘computer’ into class. It was simply an array of lights that displayed a number when you typed in that number on the keyboard. I was smitten and wanted to know how it worked. Fast forward to 1978. I was recording in the studio with the Bob Miles Band. At every break I would go into the control room and sit with the engineer at the console asking questions. Finally, he said why don’t you come in and assist. Four years later I had an opportunity to take him up on his offer. By this time, the engineer (and owner), Bobby Nathan, had grown Unique Recording into a very popular studio. He was still good on his offer and I joined the team. Incidentally, Unique was where I developed a fascination with computer programming thanks to Bobby buying us all a Commodore 64 computer for Christmas. I learned the Basic programming language which ultimately led to my 2nd career as a programmer.This is a test of the reply box
