Thanks Lorney,
I'll try that on Thursday.
What I'm trying to do is get set up so I can have all of my tube pre-amps (8 channels) recording at the same time.
I want to use the Alesis board for monitoring in control room plus be able to send separate monitor mixes out.
We're an old school Swingabilly band. When I start our record I want to be able to record drums & upright bass live off the floor to get that "live" feel. Hence the 8 pre-amp channels.
