USB-Mixer question.

[Daniel Grenier]

Does anyone know of a USB-Mixer that sends each strip POST-EQ/FX? Most of the ones I looked at (and the one I have) send strips PRE-EQ/FX only on each channel (USB to DAW). I'd much refer a Post-EQ/FX option (not just the final mix option). Is there a mixer with 4 or more such USB channels? Thanks.

I'm doubting that will be possible. Mixers normally use a single "effects engine" to add effects to the output busses, so a manufacturer would need to add a separate effects engine for each channel, which would have limited market appeal.

Most users would want each channel sent "dry" so if they were individually recorded the individual channels could be processed separately in their DAW application.

With digital technology it would be possible, it's a matter of finding a manufacturer that thinks it is a marketable option in a mixer.

If you REALLY want to use your mixer EFX you could select two channels at a time, muting the others, and pan them hard left and right and record that "mix". You would do that for all the tracks you are using and then combine those "master mixes" in your DAW. It's kludgy, but it would work.

My Behringer XR18 digital mixer lets you select the USB tap point for each channel.

I don't know of an analog mixer that does this.
