the digimax,..if you optical it into the 002 does this actually ADD the 8 mic ins, leaving you with full access to the 002 still.
or does it just make all of the 002's in into "better" mic pres?
,..stuid question i know... lol
not a stupid question at all... I recently (with the help of people on this forum) figured out that the Digimax FS (via ADAT) will only convert the AD/DA of its own 8 mic pres. It IS an additional 8 though. So I have used it's 8 pre's via ADAT and then used the line ins of the 002R (with other outboard pre amps). You can still use the 4 pre amps of the 002 and it's 4 line ins if you choose. The thing is... without the BLA modification to the 002R the converters aren't so great. So I'm in the process of also having my 002R modded by Black Lion. This will leave me with the Tofts pre amps into 8 Digimax > 002R's 8 ADAT, and the tofts preamps into the 8 line-ins of the 002R with upgraded BLA converters. So... 16 inputs if i don't hook up the 2 SPDIF and 18 if i do.

I'm a newbie to mixing/summing OTB so any insight you may have is always appreciated.
