That's exactly what I've been getting hung up on, but I think I might have found a solution: use a headphone amp. I don't have monitors (I have young children, and most of my work is done at night, so I have to keep it quiet). I think I'll just run the output into a headphone amp. That should work, shouldn't it? -- Josh Lawrence http://www.hardbop200.com
This is exactly what I do now: I use a headphone amp connected to outputs 1 and 2 of my Delta 66. The headphone amp has pass-through line outputs so I also connect my hifi for when I want to use speakers. I like this a lot more than trying to use a small mixer for both mic inputs and monitoring, since I'm incapable of remembering to mute the mixer channels I'm using for monitoring while recording! The on-board Delta mixer, when used with envy24control, works out pretty well.
