Hey guys --
so I just got an Allen & Heath Mixwizard 16:2, an Alesis AI3 ADAT converter and an RME 9636 Lightpipe card. Since I never had an analog mixer before, how do I hookup the gear? Is this a good way:
outboard sound sources -> mixer in
mixer direct outs TRS -> ADAT interface TRS IN
ADAT interface lightpipe -> RME lightpipe IN
RME lightpipe OUT -> ADAT interface lightpipe IN
2-ch ADAT interface TRS OUT -> 2-ch mixer channels IN
Is this the right way to do it? Shall I route 8-ch from the mixer's direct OUT into the DAW via the converter, and route a stereo signal back to the mixer for monitoring -- or shall I just route the stereo OUT of the mixer into the DAW and one stereo signal back into the mixer (ch 15+16) for monitoring? Or shall I use the buses?? If I use the direct OUT on the mixer, I can only use 8-channels; however, if I'd use the stereo OUT, I could use like 14 channels from the mixer, which seems to make more sense.
Sorry for this basic question, and thanks for your help!
