and how do you mean - you get 'phasing' - how? - in what way?

you know when you send a signal through an aux to en effect unit but dont send a completely wet signal back you get a kind of phasing/comb filtered sound when mixed with the original(i say phase cos i guess phases are cancelling- giving a slightly flanged/brittle sound)? well i hope so as its that sound im getting....the beat becomes thinner and certain freqs seems to be sucked up.....
sounds a bit like when you layer two sounds over each other or when you use very short delay times.....
i was thinking perhaps the dbx had some sort of circuit in there that enduces a delay causing the compressed sound to clash rather than mix with the original and that the only way to realign was to copy the dry and delay that by the same amount and then not use the original dry signal in the tune at all...BUT if the dbx is no different to any other analogue compressor in that respect i must be doing something at another stage to cause this issue- for the record it happens when i send signals via aux and dont have a 100% wet feeding back- so could be me......oh and the comps are fed lines as my subgroups have no inserts and im subbing the mixed drums and then feeding the sub via the comp back to a pair of mono channels (which are not going to the sub)
have you succcesfully done this in the hardware domain? f so what comp and what mixer were you able to achieve this with?

ayup... you're getting analog phasing from somewhere.
"i was thinking perhaps the dbx had some sort of circuit in there that enduces a delay "
nope... not deliberately at least. it is however possible that compression induces a phase shift.
otr maybe like the others said, you just have a delay anyway bexcause of passing it to there and back. not sure if i ever tried combining dry and processed signal like that in analog domain so i'm not sure about that. only use inserts for compressing usually...

(got by so far) would just like to have truied it out- will wait until i upgrade my mixer to one with inserts on the subs.
cheers

The method you're using should work fairly well as long as you're returning a completely "wet" signal on return (and I don't know of many analog compressors that have a "wet:dry" knob)
Anyways, keep on experimenting with different routings.... be creative.... it should work!

psy that is a much better way of doing it, the sub way makes sense but onlyt if you have an insert on it...
cheers
