Question,
If I go directly into the 003 (using 5-8), what functions or monitoring do I lose on my control surface? Will the control surface still show all monitoring levels just as it did when I was plugging a mic into the prospected channel or does that channel basically appear dead, or in non use. If this is the case - the point of having a surface control loses the novelty.
To clear up your point - you are saying anytime I plug in AFTER the Control surface xlr mic that my ouput connections become line level - correct? what happens if I install at the Control 24 output and take it in as line levl into the outboard preamp and then back into the input source of the 003?
Last question - The Antares AVP-1, where should I introduce this outboard gear into the line - (and, is this worth having or should I go to a plugin for LE).
Thank you
