Midas M32 effects
« on: July 25, 2017, 12:43:50 PM »

Am I missing something here?

I want to insert the amp modeler on bass then chain it through to the Fairchild compressor but doesn't look like I can do that.

I use the main Comp to side chain to the kick.

Can you attach your scene file?

You could route the bass to a Mix Bus (if you have any to spare) and insert the Fairchild compressor there or just use the Mix Bus compressor. You can’t stack (or chain) effects. I really wish that you could.

This is exactly what I am doing now but I consider this a work around. Guess it will need to do. Expecting too much from a nearly MI console.

You can actually do quite a lot with the fx routing. I wrote this a couple of years ago:

As for a fun fact (at least I didn't know of this until today while playing around) it is possible to connect two rack-fx into a single mixbus using fx-inserts in fx[1..4].

The total path can then be: mic-->ch[1..40]-->fx[1..8]-->mixbus[1..16]-->fx[5..8]-->fx[1..4]-->matrix[1..6]-->fx[1..8]-->main bus-->fx[5..8]-->matrix[1..6]-->fx[1..8]-->speaker.

Example: mic-->ch1-->fx8-->mixbus1-->fx5-->fx1-->matrix3/4-->fx2-->main bus-->fx6-->matrix1/2-->fx7-->speaker

This is 4 inserted fx for a single channel plus 2 insert fx on the output

Also keep in mind that that most fx are dual mono so that instead of fx[1..8] it should be treated as fx[1..16] when it comes to routing.

Add to this the fx-send as well plus that you can route a mixbus to a different mixbus.

That's pretty cool!

Thank you, Robert!
Took me a moment to get my head wrapped around this! I worked up an example in x32-Edit and then saved your message to a text file to store in my x32 reference files. Would hate to have to come up with this in the heat of battle and under the gaze of impatient clients.
