For those suggesting a console, how are you implementing this? Are you using splitters? We are using external preamps patched directly into the converters.

If you ARE using splitters, do you not find them to degrade the signal?

Coming out the D/A's and going into a console isn't going to help with the latency issue - it's already latent. Using a mackie on the front end BEFORE the A/D conversion isn't going to get the sound we're looking for with high end pre's.

So........

thoughts?


It's interesting that some seem to find monitoring thru the AD/DA process perfectly acceptable. My question to you guys - are you doing rhythm sections where groove and "feel" is paramount and where live musicians have the opportunity to blame the machine instead of themselves for the groove not happening???

Still trying to work this out in my mind.

Peeder and Recall - I'm well aware of how to use a console. I've done it everyday for the last 20 years, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't solve the issue with this problem.

Thanks for EVERYONE's thoughts!!!!!!
