Hey team, Im after some advice on the use of an external effects unit that I am going to be using with my MPC 2500.
I ordered this unit https://www.behringer.com/Categories/Behringer/Signal-Processors/Effects/FX2000/p/P0A3P#googtrans(en|en) and the main piece of advice I am looking for is what type/model mixer should I get?
I am new to rack gear so I only really found out about rack mixers recently but I would definitely prefer to use one as it will save space in my studio, the model I have been looking at is https://www.behringer.com/Categories/Behringer/Mixers/Rackmount/RX1602/p/P0DB6#googtrans(en|en)
Open to any suggestions, I am a little bit limited as I live in NZ.
might also mention that I own a scarlete 18i20 gen 3 for the DAW set up

that's a very nice audio interface you have...with lots of ins and outs. i don't think you need a mixer. you can do your all your connectivity and routing with it.
have two channels going from the audio inerface to your effects unit, and then back into the audio interface.
also, don't forget take advantage of the audio ins/outs on your mpc 2500.

Chur, I guess that would be the way to go about it I just didnt want to mess with whatever is happening on the daw (Flatmate is almost always cooking next to me) I will give that ago then and see if I run into any problems.
thanks
