Well I can’t thank you guys enough. The problem has been resolved. Issue was that I did not have the FX return up on the main LR mix. Once I fix that issue all for FX’s worked. The reason why I was only getting one FX working was because FX1 return on main was up. Thank you so much for all the suggestions really appreciate the time you guys took to help me out.

The FX IO patching is the “back” of the FX processor, sounds like you checked that and it sounds like that is OK.

For an FX like reverb, delay ect. those are just about always used with a mix send putting them in parallel with the source channel instead of a direct insert that puts it in series with the channel and that more or less dedicates the FX just to that channel.

Do you level on the FX send master?
Do you see level on the FX return?

If you PFL the FX send master do you hear the audio from the channels you have the FX sends turned up on?

If you PFL the FX return channel do you hear the audio from the channels you have the FX sends turned up on?

Do not turn up the FX send level on the FX return channel that will create a big feed back loop!

When I get to work Monday I will investigate further and try out your suggestions. Do you need me to take any pictures of anything? Thanks again Mike.

Thank you for your suggestions.

1. I am quite trepidations about doing a hard reset. I fear I will screw things up more. 🙂

2. Yes I have watched his videos multiple times. He makes it seem so simple. I’m like I literally do the same thing and it still does not work. I have watched that playlist multiple times along with other videos. I have learned a lot from youtube unfortunately I just don’t use the mixer enough.

3. I am assuming I screwed something up as I am still learning how to use this mixer. That is not to say there could be something wrong with the thing but I am leaning towards I unchecked something in some layer.

How are you apply the FX, through the FX send and returns by hitting the FX
mix buttons or are you trying to insert an FX directly on a channel?
–I am using it on one channel. I have also tried it on a mix channel. Same issue.

I would use the FX mix option.

Have you kind of back tracked the routing path for the working FX1 and compared it
two the others?
Sort of. I have compared FX1 to all the others and everything seems the same. Obviously I am not looking in the right area.

Are the FX send masters tured up? Yes
On the channels you want to add additional FX to are the FX sends on those channels up? Yes
Are the FX returns turned up? Yes
Are the FX returns assigned to the main mix? Not sure
Are there FX processors loaded into the FX slots? There are 4 different FX processors on the FX screen. When I click on the back they all look the same as the first one. Granted for FX 2 it is FX2 return etc. They are all sent to mix I believe. It is at work so I am not positive but they all look fine. I also see levels go up on some of them and I do not hear any change. I also have other FX where I do not see levels.
What is the FX processor input output patching? Not sure what that means. Sorry. probably my problem. 🙂

Okay good to know. I will play around with it in audacity and hopefully the sound quality will sound just as good as when I play it through the house. Thanks so much for taking the time to get back to me much appreciated.
