Hello,
I have a 32x8 Soundcraft 500 series mixer that is getting repaired and I am trying to figure out what converters I should get.
My budget is about 1500-2000 and I am ok with recording just trough tracks 1-8.
So my question is about the signal flow.
If I get for example a Lynx Aurora 8
I hook up my first 8 tracks in the mixer to Analog In 1-8 Lyxn (Would be my TO TAPE)
And the Analog OUT 1-8 from lyx to 9-16 in the mixer (Would be my From TAPE)
So now where I get confused is here:
I need to use 2 tracks from the Lynx Analog OUT for my monitoring right? it means for my summing I will use 9-14 (So 6 tracks only) and 15-16 for monitoring for example, if I am right....
Now from here on, I am not pretty sure of what I need to do to bring my summing back into the Daw to a Stereo track.
And once I have my mix, I know it is not the better way to do it but I would like to treat that Stereo mix trough 2 tracks in the mixer, a sort of mastering using the eq from the board.
Also it seems to deafeat the purpose if I have to go back to the daw after summing an then come back for the Last treatment.
I tried to be clear in my explanation. I hope it is.
thank you for your time and help.
