I make dubs of reggae/rocksteady tunes. I've always used computer effects such as delay and reverb for this. However, those who are familar with jamacian influenced music getting an analog sound is always better. Anyways, I've got a great old spring reverb unit that I want to put to use in my digital recordings. How can I use this in these pre-existing recordings?? Is there a way to set it up to be as easy if I was to use the digital effects?? Thanks!!!

yep, send the signal out of the computer, into the reverb, out of the reverb, back into the computer and record it on a new track

Hmm... thanks guys! That is what I figured. I tried that before but it didn't sound that good. However, my soundcard is ****. I'm planning to buy a new one soon, but atleast now I know it'll work. THANKS!
