Hi Georgia,
Great work on the forum here, you certainly have a great knowledge base, congratulations.
I have a question that you may be able to answer. I see that you run Protools and run it through a Euphonics desk. I have been running Protools for a number of years now with an (far less illustrious) O2R96 as controller, plus routing many inputs or outputs and taking care of monitoring, talkbacketc through the O2R96.
We are planning to install a D-Command in the future, and I am trying to get my head around monitoring external digital devices. All monitor inputs on the Xmon interface of the D-Command are analogue. So as I see it, the 2 ways to convert digital signals back to analogue are either by placing DA converters in the signal path, or by sending these inputs back to the 192, and bringing these up as tracks within Protools, and routing them to analogue interfaces as a part of the mix (obviously not routed to master out).
Is there a simpler or better way?? The second option here utilises the 192 we already have which is great, but I always worry about monitoring signal paths being incorporated into a mix...there is always the danger of bumping a fader or making some global assignment that corrupts the monitoring chain.
I assume many people have a simple solution to this problem, but I have been able to source anything online. Or maybe there is a glaringly obvious solution that just hasn't presented itself to me yet?!?!
Cheers
Paul
