No not the album, but I was sure I replied to this post...but obviously not.

Thanks guys for your input. Very much appreciated. So I have decided that I go with a splitter with one direct and at least one ISO out. Direct goes to FOH, ISO goes to Pre-Rack. Pre-Rack has (initially at least until cash flows) has three ONYX 800R (or other eg Octopre, 8 channel with Direct out AND ADAT outs). Direct outs goes through secondary passive two iso out splitter and on to the pair of HD24XRs Line in. The ADATs from the pres go to an M-Audio Lightbridge and firewire to the Laptop (going laptop rather than Rack PC) for additional back-up recording. The ADAT outs from the HD24XRs (tape returns basically) go through a second Lightpridge to the Laptop and I can monitor the tape outs that way. Monitoring will all be through the Laptop and phones/speakers depending on gig. In addition to above there will be a rack with a APC UPS and Earth Leakage Unit.

I hope I havew covered everything, now cant wait to put it together and get cracking at a gig.

Thanks again all...
Mick
