I was thinking it might be less of a load if the data were transferred to all of the output ports with the same command, and this did not necessitate calling some routine multiple times to send the same data to each port. CW does use some intelligent clip manipulation internally that reads copies of the same clip from the same place instead of making inefficient ghost copies of the clip. Never actually done this, but doggone it- I bought 4 output pairs and, well: why does a dog yada yada yada. Because he can!
All joking aside.
Suppose I want one pair to go to my studio monitor device, a SONY cheapo receiver. And I want a second identical pair to go to a cassette deck so I can listen to this mix in my truck. And I want pair #3 to go to the 424 for a double speed cassette copy of the mix. And the fourth pair to feed a reel to reel deck on loan from someone with no other way to hear anything? I'd actually need to purchase some more adapter cables to even try this experiment.... <gr>
