Here's the setup: DI-400 to mixer, mixer to Tascam Portastudio. I want to use my V-Verb Pro and Ultragain Pro. How do is send my effects to the mixer to be controlled by the bus on the mixer? Do I need to route it to the Portastudio insed? If that's the case what goes into the return and what goes into the send? The mixer is a Beheringer Xnyex 1204. I'm totally lost. Help. I'm new to this. I do have a patchbay if that would make it any easier to help me. But again, totally a noob.

Let's start at the basics here --

1) Do you need a DI or a preamp at the head of the chain?

2) Why are we even talking about the mixer at this point?

3) Which Portastudio...? Does it have sends and returns?

I need the mixer because the Portastudio (DP-02CF) only has two inputs. I realize I can switch back and forth when it is necessary. The DI would be at the head while tracking guitar and bass. But when it comes times to track drums I need more channels, thus the mixer. The Portastudio does have 1 send and 2 returns. I really appreciate the help. I'm still a year away before I can afford engineering school. Oh also, the Portastudio does have a preamp, as I plan on using an MXL 900 for vocals and maybe acoustic.
