![]() Furthermore, if I want to bring audio back into the mixer in analog and perform post-processing, I can do so. If I want to mix a large show or print to 2-track, I can use all of the features of the Mackie. I think Mackie was smart in their signal path design. (Overcompress a track - oops, damage done - can't fix it. Granted, having access to the Aux bus would be a plus too, but again, I'm not a big fan of adding stuff to the signal while I'm laying it down anyway. Why would I want to add EQ during the recording process when chances are, the EQ in the mixer is not as good as my linear phase EQs on my PC. If I'm piping audio to a PC as a primary recording system, I want the signal path as simple as possible - Pre->Converter->Disk. I don't see this as being that much of a problem. I only use my mixer as an input device, monitoring thru a central station and mixing inside of PT so I don't need it to work as a two way The only place Mackie even shows where the direct/firewire outs are tapped is on the block diagram, it's not mentioned ANYWHERE else in their site which dosen't make for happy buyers. So if you want any EQ on the way in you are S.O.L.
