You just changed my game. I’ve wanted to do this for so long but couldn’t find any info that was even close to being as informative as your video. Thank you. I’m off to my lair.
Very informative video. I’ve been mixing using vst’s and plugins for about two years and now deciding to incorporate some audio hardware into my workspace. Thanks for showing the basics in detail
Thank you for this vid cause I’m thinking of getting some hardware to combine with my software but I’m still confused but it’s not u but my hard head lol I will have to watch this a few times.
hi, great video. Would you suggest to use the Send/Return output of your Presonus AI? I am having problem in connecting my Behringer UMC 404 to the Compressor Behringer T1952 with a Y cable. Basically I have tried all possible combinations, I just don't get signal from the inserts of my UMC.
I know it's been a year but any updates as to what the problem was? I was thinking the same regarding using the send/return with a Y cable to a Fireface 800
Thanks dude. Would not work at first, then played around and added an EQ to the track in Logic, then suddenly had signal coming through via the compressor! Maybe a small bug in Logic I don't know. Just thought I would mention in case others get no sound/signal coming through at first. Cheers
It can further test the result of the recording. Example: In the track that placed the I / O create a Bus -Ex: bus1, insert this Bus in output of the same I / O track. Create a new Audio channel (mono or stereo) depends on the I / O you created. In this new audio track, in input, insert the same bus1 created. Arm the track to record / strike and see the result.
Hi. I might be stupid but, how do you record that in Logic ? how do you record the processed signal once the audio has been through the external effect ? It only records the dry signal in my case. Thanks !
DID YOU GET AN ANSWER FROM SOMEWHERE ON THIS PROBLEM. I'M JUST LOOKING AT THIS PROCESS NOW (sorry - Caps Lock on). I want to record guitar DI so i can edit the results easier then send the signal to a rack fx such as Axe 2 and then record the wet signal back into Logic. Thanks
h0w ab0ut use a daw as tape and use all 0utgear f0r the rest with a interface with 8 0r more outs, and also mixer out side the daw l0l that what i wont to do.
To clarify if using this I/O for hardware to print, do you create a new track and record it with the outboard effect engaged on the track? I'm assuming you can't bounce out until it's printed? How would you do that on the master buss?
I've been searching for a video like this for ages. Thanks so much. Could you explain how to add an Equaliser aswell please?.....I.e.....Eq to Compressor to interface. Thanks
I'm struggling with this because the ping does not work without first routing to a bus (the Logic Effects manual specifies that a bus routing is needed to use i/o). Using your method, the alignment will not be sample-accurate .
Did u find any solution, please help I noticed ur comments on some of the videos here in TH-cam, or did u have some suggestions for me for connecting hardware to Logic without any headaches 😅🙏🏻
@@abdulrahmanaljubair7748 Yes, just send the audio track to an aux channel, and record to a new channel with the aux as the input source. The i/o plug goes on the aux channel.
thank you for your very clear video. I do not understand how do you decide that your monitors plays the signal that is coming back from the compressor, and not the signal of the original tracks?
Any idea why Im hearing a small latency when inserting my inputs ??? when output are inserted I start listening to the audio and compression ...but when I put the Inputs..a delay is happening ...even if I click the latency offset...
Mine just feeds back, it sounds like a banshee...I've tried 2 computers, 2 sets of leads, 3 effects and 2 interfaces...no difference. Any ideas? Thanks
Bravo Zed Mart :Your video was superb.Every other video online did not explain and show what wires go where and if they did it was like wires everywhere.I have Logic Pro X and Cubase I have tried for years with Cubase all I got was feedback.Plus in Cubase you need 4 ins and outs besides your mains.I got my Ultrafex II Stereo Widener to finally work.It makes it sound like you have Surround Sound.
I tried this method with the same Presonus Fireproject and a DBX comp. , but I realized that my compressor diminished the signal from about 600 Hz and above, so more the hi low end was revealed and the resulted sound was a little bit boomy and thicky (muddy). Do you think at this price range the DBX 166XL model is a good option for using an ext. compressor?
Hello..nice video..btw..i have a Alesis midiverb 4 and i want to hook it to my Presonus audiobox vsl 1818 interface and im going to run it to Garageband..is this possible?thank’s and more power..
Interesting. One question: how do you level the procesing audio going back to Logic via line input 3-4 ? Do you turn up the volume on those line inputs of your Pre-Sonus? Where do you look to find out what the true signal level is?
I tried this and for some reason my mix became mono. Can’t figure it out. Logic out 3-4 into channel 1-2 of my stereo EQ then back in 1-2 into logic. And it’s mono 🤷♂️
hello Mr Zed am called lex logic audio producer from uganda am using octa capture roland with its pre -amps it has its compressor inbulit how can i use it for that outing process please help
There will always be an argument that analog gear sounds better cause it can add saturation and different colors to the recording that you don’t really get digitally. Is it worth the hassle? Well it depends on what skill level you’re on when it comes to mixing. It won’t be a night and day difference using analog over digital but it can help get your mix from 95% to 100. At the end of the day it all comes down to how well you know how to use compression so if you’re a beginner I’d just use the ones in your daw cause they’re a lot more friendly and will help you understand how to truly use it. But there’s a reason the pros use analog gear. They know exactly what they want before they start turning the knobs so they get the analog saturation and color perfectly in tune with what they heard in their heads.
Great vid brother! I have a ? And it might be a dumb ?, but if I buy a Manley stereo compressor , I can also use it for mono instruments/vocals correct ?
How would you set it up if you was setting up your compressor to the desk I have just bought a art pro 2 and the vu meter shows the input is coming through but I get no compression on the out put? Do you know why?
I seem to have a feedback loop no matter what I do. Is this possible to do with an interface that only has two monitor outputs? I have focusrite 18i8 + clarett 8 ADAT expansion. So I am doing outputs 1-2, and then inputs 11-12 (first two on the ADAT). Also, maybe just as a video idea, any tips on how to have a faster workflow? If I print a track with outboard gear, now I have it going through the master bus and the outboard gear for a second time. So I could either turn off every plugin and outboard gear (time consuming), or I have to do a dry bounce and reopen the audio file in a different program/session. That's more of a workflow thing. Maybe there is a way to have two master bus? One with effects for printing, and a blank master bus just to hear playback of the printed track without another layer of effects. Hope that makes sense.
I got it eventually. I ended up using outputs 7-8 with a spdif cable because I noticed in another comment you said to not run it on the same outs as monitors. I also had to make sure that the track in logic was was set to 7-8 and and not "St Out". Thanks for the video!
Hi, thanks for this video. Can you please do a follow up using a fx unit. I understand how it would be connected from the info in this video. But how do you route it so it acts like plug in. Ie send and rerun. Thanks.
Thank you for all of your videos. Could you please detail what Mac and O/S you are able to use with your presonus interfaces? I have Firepods but I am unable to update any higher os hence unable to get Logic X due to no driver or support for the older Firepods. Thanks
So when using i/o on master bus, how do you print the song?! it’s not going to work if you just bounce the track! I know how to do it but I think this video is incomplete!
Hi!! Thank you for the video! I did the physical connections just like you described them and I get a squeaky, nasty noise coming out of the speakers. I go from the interface OUT to compressor IN, and from compressor OUT to the interface IN. In the I/O I select the appropriate IN and OUT. I hear my drums, but overlapped with that annoying noise. Any ideas? Thank you! The interface is a Steinberg UR44, the compressor is a KT-2A from Klark Teknik.
HI , iv got 2 different compressors and would like to use one of them on my drum mix buss and other on a stereo buzz , so im just comeing out of my audio interface in to the compressors then in to a mixing desk for summing ,should put the I/o on a mix buss in logic /?? thanks
Thanks for the video, a question. How can I export my work, with the "compressor"? Already integrated, I do not know if I explain the question well ... That is, once I finish mixing my work, I want to import the work, but the track where the I / O is inserted stops playing, please help ...
You have to do a "Realtime" or "Print I/O" bounce of the region/track where the compressor is inserted. www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=140032
How do you have your Universal Control set up for this? I'm trying to get this to work in Pro Tools and am having all kinds of trouble, and I think it has to do with how Universal Control is routing.
Just wondering would the iMac 21.5in with an intel i7 3.6-4.2 ghz quad core be good enough for intense music production I also configured 16gb of ram and 1tb of ssd
You dont need to record the processed signal into a new track? When I use the I/O plugin to mix withe the Antelope AFX if I bounce the project without recording a new processed signal the I/O plugin does'nt work..
I was thinking the same thing. He just had to used the INSERT from the sound card. Out from *INSERT (send 1 and 2)* IN to compressor 1 and 2 input and OUT of compressor 1 and 2 to *INSERT (return 1 and 2)*..
hi , on my sound card I have only left and right out [1 and 2 ] ,I was thinking of buying a analog compressor for mastering , how could I do that ,thanks
you can totally use it, but you'll have to monitor from your laptop. If you only have 2 outputs (L/R), you'll need them as an output for the compressor so you won't be able to use them to monitor.
Assuming that I’ve the same setting as you, in order to print the Mix I would create a new audio track coming from outputs 3/4 then hit record, I am right?
Olá sou do Brasil .... tenho a mesma Dúvida que a sua , exemplo : se eu tivesse na cadeia de efeitos um EQ > COMP > I/O , e se por acaso eu quisesse adicionar outro plugin depois do I/O ? Teria que imprimir primeiro o sinal do I/O pra depois usar o restante dos Insert in the box na cadeia ?
Great video! I'm an Analog synth noob, and would love to hear if you have any suggestions of a good synth to get that will easily work with Logic X like this (and take midi). I mainly produce future bass/dance, but I really want to get something that will be versatile enough for branching out to less commercial genres! Thanks!
Hey marty im trying to do a hybrid mixing using three firestudio projects but i cannot get the outputs to work correctly i keep getting stereo outputs from 1/2 and 7/8. Could you tell me how you fixed this problem in your setup?
I actually never had that problem. Do they sync when connected to each other - all blue lights? I basically only installed Universal Control from Presonus and the Firestudios synced automatically. One advice though- if you bought them second hand they may have different firmware versions, so probably check that too. You can do that in the Universal control program but you have to do it separately for each Firestudio!
Zed Marty Production Yeah they synced fine, in logic i am getting all my inputs, what i dont get is the multi outputs. I keep getting stereo on outputs 1/2. You mentioned something about that in this video actually.
Great video - question - i have a extra old Sound interface with 2 input/2 main out. If i make a combination of those to interfaces in osx - could i use the 2 inputs and outputs for a outboard compressor? Since the main outs are the ones from my scarlet 2i2...... i asume the mainouts from my old interface could function as a “normal” Channel out
How would use this scenario with an external Hardware REVERB?- how would you get a "send" over the a channel ? I tried but got confused because in Logic when you create a send it automatically creates a return channel, can I put the I/O plug on a "return" channel?
LOL- I actually just figured it out right after I typed that comment- so I have another question-- Im a Pro Tools Engineer for 15+ years- I want to commit to LPX now and so is there a way to MUTE the Aux Sends on and off? I know there is a little dial send wheel- but is there a shortcut or tip to throw an reverb or delay quickly on a sound?
I know this is an old video but if anyone can help with these two questions would really clear things up for me, why is it necessary to NOT use output 1 and 2 for analogue? and my second question is, is it necessary to make sure you are using the same numbered input as output I.E input 1&2 therefore output 1&2? thanks anyone who can help
Output 1 & 2 on a lot of interfaces are basically the same as the Monitor speaker outputs, so they share the same outputs internally. That's why I advice using 3 & 4 and so on. You can use different inputs and outputs as long as you set it correctly in the I/O plugin.
@@ZedMartyProduction thanks for the quick response and help! I am new to outboard gear and also discovered parallel processing. if you have time I had something else I couldn’t find any info on. So, I was wondering if I wanted to run lets say half of my drum mics (already recorded) through the outboard compressor but parallel process it on a stereo aux like I would normally with plug-ins, how would this be achieved? I think I am correct in saying that you can't record on an aux track, so would you create a new track instead of an aux, set the input for the new track to bus 1 (for example), then set the bus 1 sends to 0 dB on the drum tracks to send the signal through to the new track have the I/O setup on the new track to go to the outboard compressor and back into that track, then print (record) the compressed signal of the sent drum tracks onto the new track, then use the new tracks fader to blend into the original drum tracks? or is there an easier way of doing this? this was hard to write in less words so apologies for the essay, any help is hugely appreciated! Great vid.
This is exactly what I needed thank you so much for making it all so clear and simple. Its now 5.29am, I can now try and sleep after finding how this is done. God Bless you my son!!!!
This is touching on a question I have. I use logic pro and have just one outboard compressor, but want to use it on multiple tracks. By "print" do you mean dial in the comp. for the first track, then bounce that track with the I/O engaged, then move on?
You just changed my game. I’ve wanted to do this for so long but couldn’t find any info that was even close to being as informative as your video. Thank you. I’m off to my lair.

You dont need to record the processed signal into a new track?
When I use the I/O plugin to mix withe the Antelope AFX if I bounce the project without recording a new processed signal the I/O plugin does'nt work..
It should work with a real-time bounce.
So why not use the inputs and outputs on the back of the audio interface?
I was thinking the same thing. He just had to used the INSERT from the sound card. Out from *INSERT (send 1 and 2)* IN to compressor 1 and 2 input and OUT of compressor 1 and 2 to *INSERT (return 1 and 2)*..
Probably because most interfaces don't have send and return connections, and the method he used will be universal for any interface.
hi , on my sound card I have only left and right out [1 and 2 ] ,I was thinking of buying a analog compressor for mastering , how could I do that ,thanks
you can totally use it, but you'll have to monitor from your laptop. If you only have 2 outputs (L/R), you'll need them as an output for the compressor so you won't be able to use them to monitor.
Are you having to print in realtime or can you bounce offline and still get the compression from he outboard gear.
Realtime bounce, the audio has to go physically through the compressor
Assuming that I’ve the same setting as you, in order to print the Mix I would create a new audio track coming from outputs 3/4 then hit record, I am right?
Olá sou do Brasil .... tenho a mesma Dúvida que a sua , exemplo : se eu tivesse na cadeia de efeitos um EQ > COMP > I/O , e se por acaso eu quisesse adicionar outro plugin depois do I/O ? Teria que imprimir primeiro o sinal do I/O pra depois usar o restante dos Insert in the box na cadeia ?
do i need the converter?
yes, for external hardware you'll always need a converter.
Awesome video!! - Great Help!! :D
thanks mate!
But How do you Print the effected outboard signal to a new track.
Bounce in place in realtime of the track with I/O on
Great explanation my friend. So after you finish with it you just export it as mixdown ?
Yes, or do a real-time bounce for that track.
Great video!
I'm an Analog synth noob, and would love to hear if you have any suggestions of a good synth to get that will easily work with Logic X like this (and take midi).
I mainly produce future bass/dance, but I really want to get something that will be versatile enough for branching out to less commercial genres!
Thanks!
Thanks! I'm not that familiar with synths actually, but have a look at the Behringer Deepmind - got some great reviews.
How can I connect Klark Teknik compressor to a preamp and then audio interface
Preamp out -> Klark input -> Klark output > Interface input
Hey marty im trying to do a hybrid mixing using three firestudio projects but i cannot get the outputs to work correctly i keep getting stereo outputs from 1/2 and 7/8. Could you tell me how you fixed this problem in your setup?
I actually never had that problem. Do they sync when connected to each other - all blue lights? I basically only installed Universal Control from Presonus and the Firestudios synced automatically. One advice though- if you bought them second hand they may have different firmware versions, so probably check that too. You can do that in the Universal control program but you have to do it separately for each Firestudio!

Yeah they synced fine, in logic i am getting all my inputs, what i dont get is the multi outputs. I keep getting stereo on outputs 1/2. You mentioned something about that in this video actually.
Great video - question - i have a extra old Sound interface with 2 input/2 main out.
If i make a combination of those to interfaces in osx - could i use the 2 inputs and outputs for a outboard compressor?
Since the main outs are the ones from my scarlet 2i2...... i asume the mainouts from my old interface could function as a “normal” Channel out
If you create an aggregate device in the Audio Midi Setup under OSX with those 2 it might work yes.
@@ZedMartyProduction thanx for quick reply mate - must tryout today
How would use this scenario with an external Hardware REVERB?- how would you get a "send" over the a channel ? I tried but got confused because in Logic when you create a send it automatically creates a return channel, can I put the I/O plug on a "return" channel?
If you create an Aux/send track just put the I/O plugin on the Aux track itself.
LOL- I actually just figured it out right after I typed that comment- so I have another question-- Im a Pro Tools Engineer for 15+ years- I want to commit to LPX now and so is there a way to MUTE the Aux Sends on and off? I know there is a little dial send wheel- but is there a shortcut or tip to throw an reverb or delay quickly on a sound?
HOW is it connected to klark tekkie la2a
I know this is an old video but if anyone can help with these two questions would really clear things up for me, why is it necessary to NOT use output 1 and 2 for analogue? and my second question is, is it necessary to make sure you are using the same numbered input as output I.E input 1&2 therefore output 1&2? thanks anyone who can help
Output 1 & 2 on a lot of interfaces are basically the same as the Monitor speaker outputs, so they share the same outputs internally. That's why I advice using 3 & 4 and so on. You can use different inputs and outputs as long as you set it correctly in the I/O plugin.
@@ZedMartyProduction thanks for the quick response and help! I am new to outboard gear and also discovered parallel processing. if you have time I had something else I couldn’t find any info on. So, I was wondering if I wanted to run lets say half of my drum mics (already recorded) through the outboard compressor but parallel process it on a stereo aux like I would normally with plug-ins, how would this be achieved? I think I am correct in saying that you can't record on an aux track, so would you create a new track instead of an aux, set the input for the new track to bus 1 (for example), then set the bus 1 sends to 0 dB on the drum tracks to send the signal through to the new track have the I/O setup on the new track to go to the outboard compressor and back into that track, then print (record) the compressed signal of the sent drum tracks onto the new track, then use the new tracks fader to blend into the original drum tracks? or is there an easier way of doing this? this was hard to write in less words so apologies for the essay, any help is hugely appreciated! Great vid.
You can also bounce in place the drum tracks and use the I/O plugin with the hardware on that track and blend it in with the other drum tracks.
This is exactly what I needed thank you so much for making it all so clear and simple. Its now 5.29am, I can now try and sleep after finding how this is done. God Bless you my son!!!!
Thank you a million times
Very nice - Thanks for the simplicity of sharing knowledge.
The operation did not work with me
good video but you forgot to mention that you might want to print before moving on to processing other tracks or the master.
+sebastian manuel right! Or you have enough outboard equipment :)
Enough is not a word we will fully understand lol
+sebastian manuel :-)
This is touching on a question I have. I use logic pro and have just one outboard compressor, but want to use it on multiple tracks. By "print" do you mean dial in the comp. for the first track, then bounce that track with the I/O engaged, then move on?
great explanation on this video.
+Benjamin Ruiz thanks mate!
