:Smokin:Thoes anybody know more about this?
I have a Mackie 32.8 Bus console in the studio.
I use it just for the monitoring when i'm recording drums mostly,and i have my RME ADI8 outputs rooted to tape returns on the rear,so can listen all the chanels.
The question is,how badly does Mackie degrade the sound quality of the original source.
For example:I have my snare drum hoocked up with my Focusrite Red mic pre witch goes to Rme and then i rout this chanel out from adat to the mackie tape in and i listn it on my monitors throug studio out on the Mackie console.
I do this only when i'm recording drums so i can make a good monitoring mix for the drummer using aux sends on the console to the phones out:)

I used to have a 32.8 and I actually prefered the headphone mixes from that while using Nuendo over the headphone mixes I now get through my Control 24 using Pro Tools HD.

But my main mix monitoring was always feeding staight into the 2 Track input so I never used tape returns for anything else.
