i own a darla 24 and have been using it for a bit now. But I recently dwelled on one of my habits that i do when mixing and recording that im not quite sure is the proper way to do things.
I use N-Tracks 99 percent of the time to record, and usually most of the tracks i will record in mono. (i have my master bus from my outboard mixer connected to the inputs on darla) For this i set NTracks to record a new track in mono, and i turn down one of the channels in the darla console so it only records one side. That seems to work ok. However, when i play the file back, it uses 2 outputs, which i dont want cause it eats up mixer tracks. so what i do is pan the track on n tracks mixer hard left or right depending on which output i want it to come from on darla, and then center the track on my outboard mixer and work from there...
I have always done this, but have wondered if it is the correct way to go about things. To me this doesnt seem like the right way to record and limits the best use of computer based processing and autmation in coorelation with my outboard mixer. Can anyone give me some info on this matter?
Thanks,
Luke
