Topic: using outboard gear for tracking and as an insert

Hi people, I have a UFX, looked all over but cannot get a definitive answer anywhere. Just purchased my first outboard gear, it's a DBX 162L comp.
what i want to do if possible, is track with this comp. and then also use it as an insert in pro tools when mixing, with out having to unplug and plugin to get the routing, is this possible within Totalmix ?or am I stuck with either tracking with it or just using it as an insert , can i reroute this in the matrix? and if so, How.? Apologises  up front if this answer  is anywhere on this site if it is I can't find it. Thanks, kobi_dog.

Re: using outboard gear for tracking and as an insert

hi
of course it is possible.
But keep in mind, that you add the latency of ADDA. depends of the daw you have to measure to compensate.
And you don't need the matrix. just use a external instrument plug in where you can select the input and output of your soundcard. In protools you have to set the i/o settings correctly !
