If I get a +48v only unit - thinking that the mic would still go through the current passive DI box if that's possible at all - wouldn't the controls in Ardour, along with the plug-ins, be ample to achieve good results w/o the need for an external mixer (now being mentioned twice in this thread) ? Even if I eventually go with two mics, wouldn't Ardour's mixing capabilities able to handle all inputs ? A bit puzzled here. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
