I am connecting an HD3 system for the first time and wanted to know if using the 16 analog inputs directly from the 192 I/O (via 2x db25 pin to XLR -or-1/4" breakout cables) vs. the mic/line analog inputs from the Control 24 (mk 1) quality wise, would the 192 inputs be better to use? the same? I hear the pres on the Control 24 are nothing to rave about. Looking for feedback from any 192 I/O users. At some point, I will invest in higer grade mic/line pres, but I want to get this rig up and running for recording instruments and mics for now. Thanks.
