First off, love the board. I've been a lurker for about a year. I've learned sooo much, this is what the internet is all about.
Let's say I'm recording 12 tracks to the HD24 from the Mackie 1604.
So, I think I get that the 1604 inserts can be run as direct outs to a HD24 post fader correct? I believe this is done by inserting only to the first click. Would I use Y adapters on the inserts to review what has been recorded to the HD24, or is there a better way? Is there anything else I should be aware of?
I am renting said gear in a couple of weeks and I do not want to waste any time w/ hook-ups. So I have read both manuals and answered most of my questions. There was also alot of info on homerecording.com, I discovered the insert thing in an answer by Track Rat.
Also, this may belong on the Alesis group but I do not want to cross post. So as I understand it the HD24 can record 24/96, however, you cannot review out of the analogue outs at 24/96. Am I understanding this correctly? Can any users of the HD24 explain how they use 24/96. I do not have a light pipe so I will be using the ethernet to get the tracks to my DAW (I know it's slow, but I do not have a choice right now). If 24/96 is not an option is 24/48 the best available option?
Sorry for the lengthy post.
