Does the hardware mixing allow you to route the mix to any set of outputs you like? One deficiency of the hardware mixer on my Delta44 is that the hardware mixing only works if you're monitoring on outputs 1 and 2. I'd like to be able to switch between cans and speakers, so it'd be nice to just have the cans plugged into outputs 3 and 4, but alas, no dice... -- Ross Vandegrift ross@xxxxxxxxxxxx "The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies.
