That what got me confused! I guess it is not used such way I thought they would have a "reverse polarity" type cable to handle straight from INSERT to INSERT. As I suspected, and you confirmed: TRS cable is going to match T-T, R-R and S-S so standard cable would not work. I do get it how to place the strip first in the line. The strip is Joemeek OneQ Master Studio Channel Strip. I have Arturia Audiofuse interface, they use what they call DiscretePRO mic preamps, which in my opinion are pretty descent piece of hardware for pro-sumer level gear. The only thing is, I believe my audio interface preamps are better than the ones on the strip. Sure, most intuitive setup would be as you described with placing the channel strip first in the signal chain. Using this technique, you will plug your mic into the channel strip mic input and not the audio interface mic input.Įdited by Charlie Fogle ( 09/14/19 05:29 AM)įirst of all, thank you for your time! I was actually hoping you would reply to this That provides the channel strip end -T- (send) to the audio interface -R- (return) and the signal goes straight to the ADC of the audio interface. Just to confirm, a single TRS cable, Audio Interface INSERT to Strip INSERT would do the trick?Ī single TRS or TS cable will work to take the channel strip line output into audio interface insert by plugging the cable only to the first 'click' position on the audio interface input. You can plug the cable to the first click when inserting it into the audio interface which will give you a signal path from the audio interface output (send) to the channel strip input (return) but you will not have a return back to the audio interface. But you also need separate input and output path from the channel strip to do that. A TRS cable is going to match T-T, R-R and S-S which results in The audio interface -T-'send' routing to the -T- on the channel strip which is also the channel strip 'send' whereas you need the signal to go to the channel strip 'return' which is the input. No, if you route a single TRS/TRS cable from the audio interface send/return path (insert) to the channel strip insert, it will send the audio interface output signal to the channel strip incorrectly. My understanding, signal will travel through interface preamps/gain->going to the strip, then-> finally to Asio driver. In either case, the signal path will be better to place the channel strip first in the signal chain unless you are doing it through the audio interface first for a specific audio effect outcome. They are undoubtedly at least equal in quality. It's possible the channel strip preamp is better than the audio interface preamp. Mic will be plugged to the interface directly (so it will be using interface preamps). Both routings will work, but they give different results.Įdited by Charlie Fogle ( 09/14/19 03:26 AM) Before you plug anything in, let us know how you intend to use the device and maybe also identify both the audio interface and external strip. ![]() The routing I describe above is opposite of what your reply post routing is and may not provide the correct effect you are trying to accomplish. ![]() My instructions detail inserting the external strip into the audio interface signal path. But that insert is designed to 'insert' an additional effect into the channel strip signal path and not insert the channel strip into another device signal path. That would be the single, 1/4" plug from the channel strip output to one or two inputs on the audio interface. The Y cable you mention in your first post is for using the channel strip receive a send/return signal from another external device and if your intended use for the external strip is effects, then the Y cable is not your best option. You can do that but in my opinion, that will not give you the best routing signal path regardless if you are using the channel strip for only compressor, eq, or other dynamics or effects and not using the channel strip mic input. However, the signal path you just posted is putting the mic input through the audio interface and preamps, taking the audio interface output and sending the output signal into the channel strip line level input which if you are doing your routing that way, you are using the channel strip as an effect the same as if you were going to use a compressor, reverb or delay. The external strip is a duel input channel strip correct? I only see the back and assume it is. This will provide a direct signal path from the channel strip to the audio interface ADC and bypasses the audio interface preamps completely. Plug into a line level output on the channel strip and plug the other end of the cable into the audio interface insert plug. Your signal path would be mic plugged into the external channel strip mic input and set all of your levels as you want on the external channel strip.
