Routing to a external effects

Hello,

i have a couple of pedals that i’d like to route the output of various channels through.

I have a

  • AudioFuse Studio
  • X8-in/X8-out
  • two gutiar pedels
  • a synth with a analog output (Moog m32), plugged in to the ADAT 1, (this works )
  • a abelton 12 daw

first i tried using a trs → send/recieve tr split as described in the manual (1.4.3). No luck.
then i tried plugging the effect out into x8-in ADAT 1 and the x8-Out 1 to the input of the pedal. tried routing via the DAW, no go.

I’ve been trying various combinations for a while now with no results.
Setting it up in the DAW as a send device etc

what i’d like to happen is that the pedel is available on a channel and i can route devices through it.
I think i have everything i need to do what i need, just unable to figure out how to get there.

If some one can assist on this, i’d appreciate it.

Hello @bruce.williams ,
if those are guitar pedals, they are most likely working at instrument level.
Therefore, the input of the pedals should be fed from Aux outputs L/R of the AF Studio, which can be set to “Reamp” (reverse DI), and the output of the pedals fed to one of the from inputs 1-4, which can be instrument.

  • The Aux L/R outputs can come directly from Main, Cue1, Cue2, ADC 1-4 (inputs 1-4) or DAW (USB 7/8)

  • if you want to route a track from the computer to the aux outputs, use USB channels 7 and 8 as sends.

  • If you want to route an external device that is not connected to inputs 1-4, you can use one of the Cue mixes as 2 Sends.
    In the example below, Analog In 5 is routed to Aux L via Cue 2 L, and ADAT input 1 is routed to Aux R via Cue2 R:

The TRS inserts are hardwired to inputs 1-4.
