I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on an ADA8000 to be able to add 8 channels to my MOTU 2408. I understand the pros and cons of using it in that fashion. Basically I'm only going to use it in situations where someone wants, for example, an insane number of mics on the drums for recording 'live' scratch tracks.
Since it will only be used intermittently, I was wondering if I could also use it as a mic pre for my mobile system. I currently use a Tascam 1641 and would like to be able to use the Behringer to act as a preamp to feed the six available line inputs in instances where more than 8 mics are required.
My question is, does the Behringer automatically route the signals from the pres to the line outs, or do I have to loop it through the toslink? And if so, has anyone done this and does it introduce a significant amount of latency?
