Analogue to Digital Routing Question

[Webhiker]

N00b here. Sorry if this is a dumb question….

I plan to use my CQ-18T for solo live performances.

I use Reaper on a Windows laptop to play backing tracks via CQ-18T digital inputs. Vox mic and a Helix LT guitar processor are connected to analogue inputs on the mixer.

This works great, but I’m wondering if I could connect the guitar directly to an analogue input on the CQ-18T, send it to the DAW for processing via a plugin, then back to CQ-18T to send to FOH?

If possible, how would one go about setting this up?

Thanks!

Let’s say for example your guitar is input 1 on the CQ.
In reaper, create a track for input one and add a new hardware output to output 2 of your CQ.
Set input 2 in the CQ to digital.
Then you have your guitare on input 2 of the CQ via reaper.
But you’ll have to deal with latency and it might be unusable, depending on you PC.
