In this video we use the Universal Audio Apollo with Ableton Live, a Moog synthesizer, the MixingLink & the Eventide Rose. For more info on the Rose: www.eventideaud...
We couldn't agree more! It really is a slept on piece of gear and people don't realize how phenomenal the mic pres are. A truly versatile "Swiss Army knife" of the studio.
Hey , i don't understand what is the pros of the mixing link in this situation. We may do the same thing with an output of our recording interface straight (from the track of our DAW with a routing to the good output of the sound card) into the pedal and send this signal in a line input of the recording interface isn't it ?
In this situation the MixingLink is not necessary due to the fact that the Rose has a Guitar/Line switch. We like using the MixingLink because it has a really nice preamp and gives a lot of gain but it would've worked without it. Even though it's been around, the MixingLink is very unknown and we love it so much we thought we'd include it. It has so many other uses than this. Check out our MixingLink playlist for other uses. ua-cam.com/play/PLbQm7G1yGHjikFIROc5EgfuA8ZboC4neN.html
I don't understand what is the function of the mixing link ,even if the Rose hadn't a mic/Line Switch . If i want to sing into my Fuzz pedal ,i use a XLR/Jack wire and i send the signal in a soundcard or a guitar amplifier. I don't understand why the mixing link is a good tools for the singer who want to use their guitar's pedal. 🤔
@@jessychancerel Guitar amplifiers don't have the proper impedance for microphone level signals, you're doing your vocals and amp a disservice. There are so many other uses for the MixingLink besides signing through your guitar pedals though. You can use it as a practice amp (play with pedals without an amp), as an amp switcher (2 amps 1 guitar), a guitar switcher (2 guitars 1 amp), as a direct box, for re-amping, or just as a really good mic pre.
I've been told that in order to use pedals in the DAW you have to have the line out going into a reamp and then into your pedals, then back in to the interface's instrument input. Based on the start of your video though you just send it right to your pedal without changing the impedance. Does this damage your pedals or interface over time? I know that the pedals will behave differently when a line signal is used instead of an instrument signal but is the difference negligible. Does true bypass change anything?
Re-amping or not will not damage any component of a recording or guitar rig, to our knowledge. Perhaps some vintage components might, but doubtful. It is all about sonic quality and tone control. Input circuits for pedals are designed for high impedance, unbalanced inputs to drive the signal chain. Low impedance, balanced signals will not drive the guitar pedals to their best tonal quality (especially distortion/overdrives and tubes). We think the sound quality difference would only be prevalent in older and vintage gear and low priced gear. The idea is this... guitarist has crappy tone in their live rig but is are a monster player. Engineer records a clean guitar track into the daw via D/I. The engineer then sends the signal out as a balanced signal from the interface into a ReAmp circuit (a reverse D/I) to allow the engineer to mimic the actual performance for a better or different guitar tone chain after the guitarist has finished tracking. True bypass is different. True bypass is a complete removal of the signal from the circuit path resulting in 0 tonal manipulation; each pedal/gear will be different. True bypass is a feature that consumers pay for because it requires 2 separate signal paths, with and without effect. This Eventide pedal has a line/guitar switch and even though we don't need to, in this video we use the MixingLink which is designed for both types of signals. We're not sure if it has a re-amping circuit but they make such quality gear we're sure they think of these things when engineering. We hope this answer helps you on your quest.
@@Trainingsnacks Great reply! Thank you so much! I make music completely on the computer and the only reason I want to do this is to send audio out and through some pretty weird pedals to mess the sound up for sound design purposes (fuzz, delay) so I don't really care about mimicking an actual guitar tone. I more care about just screwing the sound up to make happy accidents and record back into the DAW. In this case would I get something usable or would it just be a crappy mess? I just ordered my interface so I can't try it yet but I want to know if I should also order a reamp or if the difference sonically is small? Thank you again!
Nice to see the MixingLink getting some love. It's crazy that it's not brought up more in the preamp-to-interface discussions.

@@123string4 I think you can mess around with what you have and then if necessary look into re-amping.
