> Wow. Very transparent, spacious, and toneful. I bet that board helped a lot.
Thanks for the compliments. It was done in a very low tech and improvised setting, I'm quite proud that it turned out as well as it did. Certainly good enough to use for presentation material (which we did, and eventually got to record in a *real* studio).

Right. If you have a mixer, then you could just leave the Audiophile permanently connected to two track inserts (needs specially constructed cables), or an aux bus (off the shelf cables - this is what I did). This will not interfere with functionality of the mixer if you need to use it for something else.
Then, when you want to record an instrument or microphone connected to any channel on the mixer, you'd simply press the channel button (or turn up the aux send) that routes its signal to the aux bus where the sound card inputs are connected. When recording a stereo signal from a keyboard, or recording two separate instruments at once, you'd pan each channel hard left and hard right to separate the signals, thus recording one on each track in your sequencer.
To monitor/play back your recording, you'd leave the stereo output of the sound card connected to any available stereo channel.
This is exactly how everything was hooked up when I recorded that demo.
