MR816 Using Inserts?

Hello,

I was wondering if the inserts on MR816 back panel can be used with “Y” cables for external FX.

I’m thinking I would hook up compressors using two Y cables and use them?

Is this possible?

Yes. That is what they are for.

Okay. Thank you for your reply but could you kindly tell me how i can assign insert in/output from cubase 7?

It´s the same as using the inserts in a mixing desk. The insert in/out is located just after the pre amp stage. So if you have a compressor connected using a Y cable the signal is compressed on input. If you want to compress an already recorded signal you would have to route the signal out of a physical output and back into the channel that has the insert connected.

Ah! I see thank you so much! Appreciated. =)
