Currently, I have the RFX + 8 outs.

So I have main out and subs 1,4,5,6,7.

I.e., 6 stereo outs.

i dont have subs 2 and 3!
how do i get those?

do you have a e5000? i don't think there's any way to gain those outs unless it came with them from the factory.

There's no way to get those outs working, you'll need another emu! e6400 ultra has got 8 standard outs to which you can add another 8. Infact of the ultra range it's only the e5000 which only has 4 as standard.

ok, e6400 seems to be the next purchase for me then!

8-)

is there any sense in getting the E4XT model?
what does it have that I would not have after installing the RFX+8 outs on the E6400?

Save ur cash !

I have a 6400 with RFX and these days it would be odd for me 2 use more than 2 outputs. The more u produce of the RFX board the less hastle it is to reset a mixing board for every song, plus u have less noise build up if u are using analogue mixer.

imho

:finger:

oh man.......my method is so different.
i run stuff coming out of outputs on to the desk channels, which get treated by compressors, outboard fxs, etc.....

i think u really cant mix stuff proper enuff if u have it all come out of 2 outs?!?!

not at all i used to mix like u but its a pain in the arse when working with loads of different songs.
I find it best to produce on the sampler and treat the odd sound here and there on desk/outboard but then taking a new sample of it.

This way all my songs load and sound like i last left them without having to reset an analogue desk and loads of outboard.

PS. I mostly use the EMu for drums!

i've been doing this the last few days as my scsi and midi are not all up and working till i move studios!

I've been recording all stuff as i play live and re bouncing etc. I'm only using two inputs as i only have 4 1/4 jack cables!! :shock:


Its great great fun, unquantised, live feeling......... but not the way i want to work!


Single tunes or not, you can write down settings and most mixers like mine come with a photocopyable desk map!!

Why would i have got an XT with 8 outs if i wasn't going to use them! just seems kinda wierd.


But like i said, its fun, and i may do it in the future for pure ease of use! its very fun!

But in my view, its best to keep things in midi using outboard, and when i get everything sorted i will be utilising all the outs and only bouncing when i have to!

If u really want to take a snap shot of ur mixer and outboard, the best method is to use a digital camera. One photo of the desk and another of ur rack.
