1) The manual of the board says the following about the Tape Sends: "These independent unbalanced outputs are post Mix Insert, pre-fader, and are ideal for recording concerts to -10dBV tape inputs."
That'll work with my FirePod, will it?
2) I think I'm going to record to my ext HDD as there's quite a lot of data from a whole afternoon/evening of concerts. So normally I connect my FirePod to the FireWire port on my computer and the HDD to the second FireWire port on the FirePod (wooo, so much Fire in here...
). Now I'm wondering if that has any affect on the speed of my HDD. I could also connect it via USB 2.0 but for some reason I like FireWire more...
