=================================================================== > Mixer: Behringer DDX3216 Why would you add a source of distortion?. It's critical to digitize the signal as fast as possible (right after the mic pres), in my opinion. You can then use a MIDI/OSC controller. Almost all studios have analog mixers, but this is because of the way history has evolved. This is the way I understand it. =================================================================== Gee, I use the DDX3216 with the ADAT interface and Hammerfall DIGI9636 What are you concerns about distortion? -- Jim
