Hmm, I am not recording from that mixer. Its just for the last stage before
something hits my speakers. Even the monitoring for the musicians is before
that mixer (got enough outputs on my firepod to feed an 4-stereo headphone
amp :-P ).
My line-mixer here to mix my pc (normal background music) and cd-player and
the firepod and its more a convenience to not replug cables everytime.
And during recording (real instruments, not "frank_barknecht_pd_style" ;) I
turn off the speakers because of the feedback and noise. That is what
headphones are for.
You should not record from a mixer but connect the sources as direct to the
A/D-converters as possible. Unless your mixer has better preamps than your
card of course.
