X Desk for Guitar Summing AND No Latency recording

[thomjehu]

I couldn't find an answer to this in any of the X Desk threads and the manual doesn't answer the question either. Hopefully some X Desk owners can help me here and then the thread can buried in the mists of time.

Can you use the X Desk to Sum guitars, so say you had 4 mics on two amps bring them into the X Desk on 4 channels but then print them to only one track along with your DI and listen back to the music you are recording along with?

Ideally listening to the guitars before the computer (for no latency monitoring) and without a massive repatch.

The only way I can see thus far would be bringing outputs from the computer into the external input and monitoring this and having the guitars all panned say to the left and sending out of the main mix output into the DAW

Is there another better way?

Sorry if this is more obvious than I think.

Thanks

Tom
