Re: Mixer Questions

Jan and Rainer,

Thanks for the replies.  I'm a little concerned about Jan's comment
about his friend having troubles with the mixer when he moved it a lot. 
I plan on using it for both home studio and live use (though in Eastern
Iowa, there aren't many opportunities for live looping performances--so
it probably won't get moved too often).

Oops...I meant to say: "feed sub outs 1&2 into the Vortex, from the
Vortex outs into mixer inputs that are assigned to subgroups 3&4." 
Basically, I can only really deal with two final outputs from the mixer,
so I wanted to pump the Vortex mix back into the mixer so that it could
be mixed with the non-Vortex mix to come out the main L and R outputs. 
Given the complexity of Rainer's setup, I think I'm only scratching the
surface with my proposed use.

Rainer, are you only using the single output from the Headrush or have
you implemented the four "tape-delay" outputs as well?  I shudder when I
think of all the craziness I could invoke with the edp, headrush, and
vortex each doing their own things...

Thanks again.  If there are others out there who have experience with
this mixer in a looping rig I'd love to hear about them, both positive
and negative.

Cheers,
