Hi All,

I have been reading this thread for a while (as well as any other material I can find about the Zen) and just ordered one earlier in the week from Vintage King.

Anyway, I wanted to ask how Ozzy and everyone else is using their Zen's.

I plan to use both logic and now PT9 with a 24 i/o ssl alphalink . i'll probably keep 1/2 in for printing back the mix (until i can afford a crane song hedd...) and 1/2 out available for DAW Mix. then the remainder of I/O I'm not sure how best to utilize. Does anyone have any tips or experience in terms of routing and automation decisions in the box that make working out of the box as efficient and flexible as possible? (I'm new to this!)

Currently I'm thinking about setting up tracking and mixing templates with dummy automation tracks, and i/o corresponding to 3-16 on the channel strips. and then 17-24 the first 8 of the "DAW I/P" for additional summing of ITB Buses and figuring out how to still have some patch points for the groups and bus compressor i/o. Anyway, hopefully it arrives early next week.
