Excellent video, this is the best one I've seen that answered all my questions about routing with all the components and the setup I was looking for. Thank you very much for sharing. Much appreciation bro.
Thank you, Mark! I know everyone has their own "golden bullet" to solve all recording studio issues and best practice, but this helped me review my current setup due to latency from my I/O and with live practice/recording sessions. Again, thank you for sharing!
I have this same console, I’ve got it routed out of the daw through 3 presonus interfaces then the main stereo out back into the daw. I’ve A/B’d it with just the straight sound routed from daw to monitor and it’s nearly identical. My main fear was that the quality would be diminished vs just going in the box, it was a big gamble getting the console and interfaces but it paid off!
I have an apollo solo. I'm getting a mackie 32x8 console. Would I have to get a newer interface with more inputs and outputs to be able to run my audio through the board?. This will be my first mixing console
its really based on how many inputs you want to record at once and how many outputs you want to mix from the daw thru the interface into the console. I had a 8 channel output interface for years and switch to a 24 output MOTU interface so I can use the console to mix with as well as use some outboard gear with inserts on channels and bus channels. trust me when you incorporate your mackie console with your DAW and interface, You will love the difference sonically.
So, are you recording into your mixer (let's say channel one) , running through a direct out on channel one into your interface (into the DAW), then back out through a line output of the interface, back into the mixer through the insert channel on channel one, playing back in the daw/ mixing in the board, then outputting from mixer back into the daw using the direct out? So you have all channels available in your daw when you're done? Or are you summing in the mixer and using that to go back into the daw as a final stereo mix in different XLR / a tape input?
basically. all channels 1 thru 24 can be used to direct out to the interface into the DAW. each channel can be flip to listen to the channel itself or to monitor the returns from the interface coming from the DAW. the main output from the mixer is what is used to create a final stereo mix to be recorded back into the DAW as a final stereo master track
@@marksmusicplace3627 I’m getting close and I’ll return to your page to watch more. Routed my outboard compressor to an Aux channel and as an insert and I can’t hear any difference. I see the VU meter move but I don’t notice any reduction. Thanks for responding 💪🏾💪🏾
Hi Mark, I just subsicribed. Having troble just simply reording my guitar. I have just a compact 4 channel analog mixer. I do not have interface anymore becuase the power jack broke. I also carry sturdio one. can I record with just my mixer without the interface?
unfortunetley no. you need an interface for the software to be able to work. as far as recording yiur guitars, you can use the preamp in the mixer but investing in some higher quality preamps will make the guitar recording sound better
