Since acquiring new outboard equipment (Lexicon MX300 and Focusrite Twin trak Pro) I decided to rewire the outboard rack to make it more efficient and flexible.
I bought 2 sets of mono 1/4"jack wire looms and I rewired the whole thing. All inputs and most outputs (ones in use) were all connected to the patch bay for easy access.
Once I was happy everything was connected correctly and having tested it, I went about using the new outboard fx for a project I'm contributing for a friend.
I used the Lexicon MX300 on the vocals/guitar and also on the piano. I also used some on the snare drum.
To send the audio to the outboard, I created a auxiliary channel and sent audio through the soundcard to the outboard. The output from the fx unit came back into the soundcard through the analogue ins.
The mix project handed to me from my friend is recorded on the built in microphone of his Mac book. The quality leaves a lot to be desired and the vocals and guitar will be re-recorded when my new pre-amp arrives. The main objective was to create accompanying pieces to go with the vocals and guitar on the original recording.
I will post a another post in the future where I will re-record the whole song properly under more suitable conditions.
