Using a MOTU ULTRALITE, what would be the best way to incorporate an
outboard effect (compressor).
Thanks!!!

Connect UltraLite output to effects processor input. Connect effects processor output to UltraLite input.

Just to elaborate, there are several ways to go about this. If your outboard FX unit has S/PDIF then you could connect to your Ultralite this way. This would be easiest. An alternative would be to use the analog outs. For example, you could send analog outs 3-4 to your FX (if it accepts stereo input signals) and feed the FX back into the Ultralite via analog ins 5-6. Within DP you would of course need to setup some auxes/busses to send/return from your outboard unit. This can be a little tricky to setup the first time, but a quick look at the DP and/or Ultralite manuals should shed some light on the subject.
