Hello friends. Couple of noob questions I'd like to put to the gdiy braintrust?
Was doing a final bench run on channel logic / 500 slot connections, and I have serial inserts covered, but realized it would be very easy to add a parallel insert option too. I know parallel compression is popular, but does anyone around here use parallel EQ in mix/tracking channels? For my situation, both the 500 slot and input channel preamp have their own output tx's and would tie together at the channel fader in parallel with a simple mod.
Is this a no-no in a input channel? Something better left to a patch panel connection, as it is traditionally a mastering / group bus thing, or not a popular mixing/tracking technique?
One more question due to real-world console inexperience, if you don't mind...
Are there consoles out there that have fx inserts positioned such that you can toggle including/excluding them from hitting the auxes? I ask because I also realized adding this would be a simple matter of modifying where the aux prefade gets its input from-- post or pre 500 inserts.
Thanks for your opinion / advice in advance!
