thanks for the precious advices!
I don't think I need balanced send and returns. It's just that since I'm trying to use quad OPA1679 everywhere I can (the more ICs I get, the less I pay for them) I had two spare opamps so I thought about making the insert balanced.
this part is confusing me.. All the schematics I've seen when multiple Aux were used, were almost identical to what I did, as far as I can understand. There was a pair of tracks (one before and one after the fader) going to a switch, then the potentiometer wired as voltage divider and last the mixing resistor. What am I missing?First, from what I see your Aux sends are going to short the Aux busses when turned fully down affecting the bus by the position of the wiper relative to ground
that was intended, but as you mentioned sidechain processing, I reckon it was a mistake, so I will use half-normalling send-returns.Second: Your send and return for the Insert leaves the send/return open
I thought I had drawn both the send and the return as balanced. I thought the "Zero impedance output" that I used on the Send (and for Direct Out too) was impedance balanced. But probably I misinterpreted that configuration.you seem to have opted for balanced return which makes it tricky if not impossible normalling unbal out to bal return - do you really need balanced return?
