Due to the lack of channels on my 16 ch MACKIE VLZ pro (small live rig, can't expand) I have to find a recording device like the ALESIS HD 24 -- and it also has to function as my back up playback device.
The only connection points to my mixer where this could work are the insert points.
Do the levels of the mixer's insert points and the level of the analog inputs and output of the HD24 match?
To clarify:
I have a laptop playing back a lot of tracks thru a MOTU 8M into the mixer's line inputs. All inputs are taken.
The ADAT would be my backup playback device for tracks, clicks and certain monitors and be switched to playback mode if the computer ever goes down.
This means it would stay connected to the insert points at all times and I would monitor through the recorder - hopefully with zero latency.
Thanks for reading and brainstorming with me folks - really appreciate it!
