Extertnal Insert - De Coupling not working
Hi there.
Not sure if what Im expecting and doing is correct (I'm doing some test at the moment)
I have my new dbx 266xs compressor and I would like to use the 2 compressor Channels independently as 2 different External Inserts for 2 different Tracks in the DAW.
In my Focusrite 18i20 I've connected:
- channel 5 output to the DBX 1st Channel Input and then back to channel 5 input in the 18i20 ,
- channel 6 output to the DBX 2nd Channel Input and then back to channel 6 input
Ah, yes - you should be using the send pan feature. Set Guitar 1 to 100% L, and Guitar 2 to 100% R.
Remember to set the inputs of your return tracks to DBX L / DBX R respectively. This will make them mono. If they're set to DBX S, then that's why it's coming out as hard panned. Also note the SILENCE bus to avoid the pre-compressed guitar coming out of the mains from the source tracks, and also the post-compressed sound coming out of the mains from the DBX aux track.
