How to Add Effects While Mixing

Posted on

Member Since: Feb 06, 2008

I have my gear connected as follows. I can hear the effects from my effects box but can't record those effects because the output of the mixer is going directly to the monitors. Please tell me what cabling to change to be able to record the effects. Thanks.

Axiom 25 keyboard 5-pin MIDI out to Yamaha Motif-Rack ES tone generator MIDI in.
Axiom 25 USB MIDI to MackBook running Live 7.
Motif output L/MONO to Presonus FP10 audio interface channel one input jack. FP10 firewire connected to MacBook.
FP10 Main CR output 1 to Alesis MultiMix 12R mixer line in one.
12R aux 2 send to Alesis MidiVerb4 effects unit Ch 1 input.
MidiVerb4 CH 1 output to 12R Aux return.
12R Main out L and R to active monitors.

Do I connect the 12R mixer back to the FP10 audio interface? If so, would the L & R out of the 12R connect to 2 separate inputs on the FP10?

Yep, the only way to get it recorded is to use the main out from the mixer since it does not have a buss out. And yes, use 2 channel's on the FP10 to get the stereo left and right signal's in. Then simply hook your monitor's to a pair of outputs of the FP10 and your good to go.

Thanks. I just needed to know that I was on the right track. :)

I'll let you know what happens (after the hangover). It has been a very long week here in Summerville.

Thanks for responding. I'll get back to you.
