Routing phantom power to Ableton return tracks?

Post by EvilEvil » Sun Aug 12, 2007 10:34 pm

Hello,

I have a sesison that uses much phantom power. All of my racks are phantom powered and so is the VST plugins I using. I want to route the phantom power through Ableton efx sends too. show me a demo how to make it.

Add one of these at the front of your chain, and you should have plenty of Phantom Power for all of your plugins.

Dude why would you dredge something up from someone's past and throw it in their face like this? It is totally not cool.

sounds like you suffer from 'Michael Bolton syndrome', it can be cured, but not ignored.

Is this walters?

Its quite simple really - due to resistance inside the computer there can be quite a voltage drop, so you need to plug you audio in drirectly into a main supply. Dont use an adapter - it isnt safe :)
Nothing to see here - move along!
