Outboard Compressor Hookup, Best Connection to 828mkII Options

[Nels]

Hey folks,

Anyone out there have an outboard compressor hooked up to their 828mkII? Got a Blue Series DBX 160SL Stereo Compressor that I'd like to utilize and was wondering about the NO INSERTS factor.

If a seperate mixer with INSERTS is needed, what might be a good one to consider?

Thanks

I just happen to have a patch bay(Ultra Patch Pro - PX2000), but never could quite get the ins and outs to route right. Finally, gave up. Gonna have to try again.

In the mean time, if anyone wants to walk me thru the 828/compressor/patch bay hook up, please feel free. I also have a favorite effects proccesor(Yamaha FX 900) that I could chain, as well.

Plug ins are great, but the old hands on hardware ads a bit of warmth to the mix.

Thanks guys!
