My main concern is intergration into Nuendo , does the ZED have supported ASIO Drivers , is anyone using this with Nuendo / Cubase ?
I have a Mackie MCP / Extender so I won't use the MIDI
I also have a central station for monitoring ( bit confused on how to keep this in the loop.
I'm hoping theoretically to continue using the LAYLA though the ZED's ADAT I/O's to send alternative outs to my 5.1 system and add 8 line ins
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the best way to inegrate this into my system but stable drivers are my main concern
Also a question on using the analog eq as a " plug-in "
if you send out a digital track to the eq's and back in to the computer I assume you need to re-record it to a seperate track correct?
if you recorded it back to the same track youd be effectively erasing your track correct?
One other thing , I'm a bit concerned about the summed microphone / line - inputs on the channel strips , If I wanted to wire this to a patchbay would this configuration cause any problems?
Last but not least I have several good outboard mic pre's , what is everyone else doing to get outboard mic pres into the mixer ?
I'm sure I'll have lots more questions in the coming weeks, can't wait

Hi LoveKrafty
Thanks for ordering your ZED-R16!
Yes ZED R's ASIO drivers should be fine with Nuendo - (although we haven't got Nuendo here, all is ok with Cubase).
You'll need to route to the additional ADAT channels using the Audio Options setup in your application/DAW as they are not mapped automatically if you're in FireWire mode. (The attached might explain better).
When using the EQ as an analogue plugin, you'd be safest to set up a new track in your DAW. If using the same track, it might be possible to do it but if I tried it I know full well that I'd get a feedback loop! Easier with a new track!
The summed Line into Mic input is a small compromise that means you can't have mic & line inputs plugged in together and switch between them. I can't see a problem with a patchbay though as long as you maintain the same rule (one input at a time), and ground the break contacts on the line jack sockets.
A 64bit XP/Vista working driver is just about to be released. (Hopefully this week).
Cheers,
Mike.
