I wanted to get a digital equivalent for the old analog recording studio I used to live/work in... you know where you had patch bays and racks of effects machines... and I fully realize I am still gonna be in a learning curve for this desk for some time to come... but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to use the effects loop for more than one channel at a time in post. Can someone please tell me how to do this? It seems you have to choose your effects BEFORE you record your initial clean track... this logic is contrary to the way I learned to produce music in a studio, so I guess I will have to adapt... but it sure makes this less fun. I used to love the mixing process...
