Hey i thought i could probably best ask you guys this as im completely lost when it comes to connecting up say something like an analogue compressor or something like an analogue limiter. I dont have an analogue mixing desk nor a digital one all i have is my computer, my MOTU 828mkii and my monitors. I also have a hardware synth which i plug directly into the motu with midi cable and audio cables.

But anyways a friend of mine has lent me his TC Electronics Finalizer express untill he returns from backpacking. But i have no idea how to connect this bit of kit into my setup and make it that i can take my mix and put it through the finalizer and viola have my master.

Thanx.

In ableton you use an external fx rack on the master.

Do I just connect it via the xlr jacks?

Hey Jan, what you need to do is connect it with 1/4" TRS cables. You can use XLR to 1/4" too and connect it to your audio interface. Then route the audio out of Ableton Live with the External Instrument and with the same instrument, route it back in. If you need some more direction, just ask or shoot me a pm or whatever. Im happy to help.
