5.5 How do I use an outboard effects processor?.

5.4 How do I add one of the 8 internal effects to the sound?.

5.3 How do I connect a microphone, process its signal and send it out to the P.A.

5.2 Default setup for connecting to monitoring and P.A.

5.1 Starting up, shutting down, and firmware updates.

If none of the above is doable,i will go with the Behringer x32 which seems like it does everything. Like combining both of them eg a MIDI INTERFACE (for sequencing/trigger)ДЄnd the SOUNDCRAFT MTK 22 (idk if its doable) I cant trigger my Synths and send the signal back to the Mixer,so unfortunately i dropped this idea,unless there is something more i could do I really liked the idea of Soundcraft MTK 22 but since it doesnt have MIDI I am using MOTU MK II hybrid as per below :ДЇruity Loops Sequencer -> MOTU MIDI OUT -> SYNTH MIDI INД«ut since i am looking for more input channels,i was thinking for an alternatives. I need the midi because i trigger/sequence my synths with it + i send the signal from the synths to the daw at the same time. Mine is one of the firewire ones, hopefully the usb ones are better. I have a 16.0.2 which I've finally learned to enjoy but it's always been unreliable at showing up as a midi interface in osx so I rarely bother with the midi ports.

Means I donвЂ™t get the benefit of analog summing (though I donвЂ™t really know if the Mixwizards are вЂgood enoughвЂ™ to add anything over DAW summing anyway to be honest) but it does all work rather well as a reliable and straightforward workflow. I just monitor from the master out of the main MOTU. So I ended up using the simple solution: the Mixwizard acts like 16 individual channel strips I take the signal from the direct out of each channel, feed that into the MOTU channel ins and do all my mixing and summing in the DAW. This all ended up being impractical for a number of reasons (not least of which was a limitation on the MOTU meaning it can only do ADAT one way at once, ie not digital in>analog out at the same time as analog in>digital out.). I then planned to mix all the channels on the mixer and send the master channel back into an unused pair of inputs on the MOTU for final master recording. I had been planning to use the insert points on the mixer to tap each channel for multitrack recording each channel would go to a MOTU input, be recorded by my DAW and reappear at the same MOTU channel output. I settled on a pair of MOTU 828mkiiвЂ™s (connected by ADAT) and an Allen and heath Mixwizard WZ 16:2 mkiii. I think i am going to go with the Behringer x32,what was the alternative for you?

True thing.if only the MTK had midi function it would be unbeatable,well I couldnвЂ™t remember why IвЂ™d decided against it but youвЂ™ve just reminded me.itвЂ™s because it doesnвЂ™t have midi

Haha! ThatвЂ™s funny to me because IвЂ™d been looking at getting one of those mixers myself last year but had decided against it at the time. So now i have to find an alternative.That's too bad because i really like the idea of having and analogue mixer that can be used as a soundcard. Thats exactly what i was thinking until i realised that the MTK doesnt come with Midi functionality,which is essential for what i do. I think the soundcraft is essentially an analog mixer on the back end of a 22in/out USB multitrack soundcard.
