Is that a separate hardware compressor/limiter/gate device or is that integrated in your 1202fx's onboard effects?

No it is separate Bob. I think I figured it out, I'm waiting on my cables to get here. I ordered them online instead of getting raped at Radio Shack. 2nd computer headphone out to Channel 3 on mixer, FX turned full left, FX send out to 2nd computer mic input.

Then main Out from mixer to CGL input on channel 1, out of CGL into a digital recorder then into 1st computer mic input. Out from 1st computer headphone jack into channel 4 on mixer for additional sound effects. Control OUT on mixer to monitor speakers. Microphones are on channels 1 & 2 of mixer. I think this should work , if any one sees something wrong with this set up Please let me know, Thanks in advance.
