Hello I recently bought a UR824, not realizing that there is no actual direct insert jacks on the unit. With my previous hardware which did have those inputs, I used a compressor on incoming signals like voice or flute… Is there anyway to still utilize my outboard compressor, or some other method to process the incoming signal? I hope I could still use my outboard gear in that manner, but it seems I may have made a mistake in choosing this particular interface assuming that was there… Any suggestions ? ---
