![]() I guess a second patchbay would fix that issue? ![]() The mixer solves one issue but the thing I can’t figure out other than splitters and foot switches is how I’d be able to select the pedalboard, tascam and then the Korg NTS as effects units seperately. As you pointed out though I could do this with the Focusrite software, but it seems to be a bit buggy on my Mac OS so whilst everything is working currently I don’t want to mess around with it haha. So in answer to the last question a few others there, I think the answer seems to be to buy a mixer, which I’m more than happy to do so that I can multitrack anyways. Unfortunately not, I was solely ITB until a few years ago and until now I’ve just been recording one thing at a time, unplugging everything, running it through whatever and then plugging things back in again.Yeah it’s a 48 point patchbay (Behringer PX2000), a few of the inputs don’t work though so I’m happy to buy another as a second for more patch points.I have a few mono gain pedals into stereo modulation, delays and reverbs. Its mono in but stereo out, I was thinking of running a effects loop like I do with my guitars.I’ll probably want to multitrack at some point.I’ll basically just be running DAW Audio and Synths through it essentially using it as an effects unit, and then back into the DAW.I look forward to your reply when you can! This might be workable though, depending on your answers to my questions above. Generally speaking, given the amount of units in your setup and your desired routing I’d want a mixer in the system, but I’ve read the Clarett 4pre manual and it looks like it can work as a standalone mixer as well as a DAW interface, so it can possibly handle the routing you need, but it’s not the same as a hands-on mixer with sends, groups & faders etc…īUT if you don’t get a mixer I’m thinking a big limiting factor is the limited number of 8 outputs (4 analogue line, 2 analogue via headphone out #2, 2 digital via SPDIF (which you might not have anything available to make use of). I’m looking at suggesting 2 solutions - one that attempts to get you what you want without buying new stuff, and one that involves buying new stuff. How many channels are working on your patchbay, and is it a 48 point one with jack sockets?ĭo you have any other gear like an ADAT converter, or any other mixers/signal splitting/combining devices knocking about that might help?įinal question - are you likely to add any further sound sources/processors in the future or are you pretty set with this line-up of gear? Is the pedalboard / FX board a stereo or mono signal path? Might be mono in and stereo out maybe? And do you use it as an insert (i.e entire mix/group goes through it) or as a send? How many channels do you want to be able to send from your DAW out to other things? Is just stereo fine?ĭo you always use the DAW or do you sometimes want to work without the DAW? What do you use the Tascam for? And what model is it?ĭo you ever want to multitrack to the DAW? Or are you going to be forever happy with just stereo into the DAW? If that’s a complicated solution to something that could be simplified please let me know! Is that the best solution for doing that or would something similar be achievable if I just bought another cheap patchbay rather than a mixer? Until now I’ve only used my patchbay for basic routing of my synths into my interface and ocassionally an effect here or there. But then I wouldn’t know where to bring in the DAW audio. I was thinking if I had all of the synth outputs summed via a mixer into a stereo splitter (for dry outputs into interface channels 1+2) then into ABY switcher that goes to the pedalboard, NTS and tascam so that I could switch between where the split signal is being routed to eventually going back into inputs 3+4 of my interface. I’d also need to be able to route my DAW audio to these three as well. All of the inputs are currently in use for the synths, Korg NTS, tascam and pedalboard outputs. I have a 48 point patchbay (well a bit less than that with the broken inputs). However I’d like to be able to still record the dry outputs of my synths at the same time, rather than plugging and unplugging everything then doing another take. ![]() I’ve decided to start using my guitar pedalboard, Korg NTS and tascam as outboard effects for both my DAW Audio and my synths.
