The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

So true Jon, not a budget thing. I re-wire my rig when I want to do full left-right. While the effects I use are stereo type, I find some cross talk happening. When I am playing with the 5.1 or greater recording, I use separate effects for each channel. This is where my A5k sampler helps out a lot. I can run 8 separate (actual 10) and effect them as required. Needless to say, this goes well beyond anything normal. Not something I do daily either.

I still think one has to determine what they are going to record or do then consider the hardware/software. A little time spent researching and asking many different groups might prove wise in the money spent department. Especially if you can find someone who is doing something similar. Clone their rig.

Notable is the new Alesis ION. It has two separate stereo outs. I have not made it that far yet to actually use the additional aux outs yet.

  Scott,

  Two things to keep in mind:

  1. those four seperate stereo pairs can always be used as mono inputs 
  simply by using only one of the two inputs per pair.

  2. those four seperate stereo pairs will typically have their signal 
  summed when sent to a FX send.  Not many  budget mixers offer 'true' 
  stereo sends - you'd need to use both sends in parallel AND your FX 
  processor would need to effect each channel individually. Again, not 
  typical for a budget FX processor. The EQ and Pan settings are 
  applied equally to both the left and right sides of a pair - this 
  isn't going to be a problem so long as you avoid the 'everything in 
  stereo mish mash' that Mike alludes to in his post.

  Jon
