Say I got a soundcraft m-8 which has 8 pre's for its 8 channels. If I wanted to add something like a Grace 101, can I add it while bypassing one of the pre's that are already on there? Just a newbie question. Thanks.
 
If you use external pres you generally bypass the console completely and send the pre output directly "to tape"....
 
If the tracks have inserts I suppose you could do it by plugging a y cord into the insert. You could run a cable from the pre-amp into the return on the insert jack. Just don't send anything from the insert jack.

Never tried it, but it seems like it should work.
