and i'm saying this based upon that DAC-1 thread where Dave (or someone) spoke of bypassing the mixer altogether... the outs of the DAC to the ins of the moniitors...

do you do this? if so is it cleaner then first going into a mixer?


The benefit of the TDM system is the low-non existant latency when tracking.

When mxing its another story.

Right now I have a small mixer that I use for the midi stuff when I am producing and for headphone feeds(to hear the them). When its time to mix, i normally just track everything(usually 64 tracks and up).

Yeah with PT TDM you can get away with sending all of the synths to the convertors(return them on aux inputs).

I would still suggest something analog to send the headphone feeds for the singers.
