STEP BY STEP - How to setup analog gear as a plugin

Want to run your new analog gear as a insert or plugin with your DAW? In this video I show how easy it is to set up with Cubase Pro! In this example I'm using the Warm Audio EQP Tube EQ set up as a stereo send and return.

Are you running any external processing as a plug-in? If so, what are you using?

[boofatomis]

Broooo I needed this! I jus got my new studio desk in the mail so I got proper racks now and I only knew how to run the analog gear as inputs thank you so much fr

I have watched so many videos on this subject and although yours seemed the most easy to understand.. I fear I’m still doing something wrong but I think it’s in my routing. I just got a dbx 676 channel strip and I am able to use it as the front end source but not as the plugin inside Cubase. I can’t figure it out. I am using an audient id44 I read that I only need to come from the output of the dbx and into the insert jack on channel 1 or 2 of the interface but that already makes me think it’s not going to work because I keep hearing send from input x and x and come back in on x and x and I guess that’s where I get lost at. Sorry for the super long story I’m fairly new to adding outboard gear I’ve only ever set up to have stereo 1 & 2.

Cool video and thanks! Ok. So now we get down to the nitty gritty. Cabling. I'm running Cubase 13 Pro and my interface is a small Presonus StudioLive series 3 mixer. i want to connect my stereo compressor to use on my master buss but I'm not entirely sure of the proper wiring. Do you have any ideas that might help? I'm already using the comp as an input comp for 2 of my vocal mikes.
Any he;p would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for this video
I have a question, if I do this method with the drum track and change the physical buttons to adjust the drum track
Then I wanted to change the physical buttons for the vocal track
Does this mean that the drums will sound change with vocal track?

if I want to add special settings to each track using one device like warm audio EQ. Is this possible?

[KeaneFreeman]

so if you want to use the effect in a mix, you have to record the track with the eq onto a new audio track?

Got a Beringer analog compressor and Mackie mixer, can I use it with Audacity as my DAW? Thanks.

Hi Zach! Im just little bit confuse about stereo. How to connect the output 3 and 4 of the 18i20 interface to WA73 EQ? There's only 1 TRS input and 1 TRD output at back of WA73 EQ. Appreciate your help.

[ItzrealMusic]

What are the cords called you plug into your external preamps into your sends in returns do you need those cords to process or no and if so can you please send a link where I can buy the exact cords because I don’t know exactly where to purchase them thank you in advance I appreciate it

[CantonMasterDrummer]

So if you’re using inputs from the 18i20 for analog gear, this obviously is taking away from inputs you would have used for instruments, right? If that’s the case, and you don’t own an ADAT interface to open more inputs/outputs to the 18i20 what do you do to use analog gear to record drums and such? Can you use multiple audio interfaces in one DAW per recording session? 🧐

[glenspardello]

How about if you were using two WAEQP’s? Thanks !

[beatprocess]

does this work with other versions of cubase?

[randalltomur]

Mr list the the gears u have used in this video

[nolarocks]

How do you rpevent feedback loops / the dreaded tin can sound?

[bhekimkhwanazi]

hello, , thanks for sharing that idea, , now tell me is that method works even if you arre mixing down your song as exporting it into wave audio file, , not mixing in real time?

[alihanapiyahofficial]

[demp]

hey! nice video! i have a focusrite saffire pro 26 and when i go from my out 3-4 to my warm audio wa 273 and back again in my 3-4 inputs i have terrible feedback and it is basically unusable! do you know how can i prevent this to happening?
