Pro-Tools Doing full band live recordings

[Matt Darcy]

I'm looking into using my Rack 003 with 2 Octorpe LE 8 input (4 in use and 8 in use - making 16 input with the 003) to do some live recording of a full band.

The question is would/should I create the work flow.

eg:

micup the kit, put the kit into the desk for PA control, then put the out of the desk into the 003 - in that case I'd need to find a desk that has 1 to 1 input to output mapping so I can have each input on the desk, going into each input on the rack 003.

Or should I mic up the kit, put it intot he 003, then put the output of the 003 into the desk for pa control, as the rack 003 doesn't have 1 in 1 out mapping, I'd have to use the output to go to the desk then use the pro-tools software to control the levels.

How would you best achieve this ?
