Hi Blast9 and thanks. I posted this same ? on the other forum and was told that I could indeed do it. I would just have to take the "Monitor L" signal from one of the outputs (in this case output #1) on the Q10 and then run that through the GAP Pre 73 and into one of the inputs on the front of the Q10. I would then arm a trk in Sonar and record just the left channel info. I would then take the "Monitor R" signal (again from the same output-#1 in the Q10-fyi the outs on the Q10 are all software routed), go throught the GAP PRe 73, into an input on the Q10 and then arm a second trk in Sonar and record the right channel info. Then I would have the two trks in Sonar colored with the GAP Pre 73 almost like using a Neve as a summing pre; pan trk 1 hard left, trk 2 hard right and then export that as a new stereo 2 trk. As long as I start the recording at the same place, there shouldn't be any phase/timing issues (at least that's what some of the posters on GS told me on the other forum). Think this will work?? I will eventually get a 2nd GAP Pre 73, but for now, one will have to do.
