Pre's on Folcrom Input??

Hey,

I'm typically a lurker, but have gotten so many gear demo ideas from this board!

Just say you have 16 channels of one preamp, has anyone here tried using the folcrom for summing, and placing these pre's on the folcrom INPUTS rather than outputs for make up gain.

If it works, this could be good, as you can gain channels individually outside of the daw and perhaps achieve a totally different sound. I guess i'm really looking for an answer from an electronics standpoint. Will the output be loaded properly?

What about using different pre's? Bad idea right with no impedance matching. Forgive me if i have no idea what i'm talking about, because I don't..

I don't know enuff to answer you properly but I would guess no.

You'd be hitting it really hard and you'd probably still need 2 make up pre's at the end.

But what you could do is take line amps or board channels (using direct outs) or even 16 distressors and control the volume from there.

Kinda crazy but it would work.

I had the idea of using 16 PVC's (passive Volume Controllers) but I was told that they wouldn't work. It needs to be active.

Good luck.
