Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Would one or multiple 2882s handle this type of configuration,
director/loop back monitoring on outputs before any A/D - D/A?

 

I believe the answer is no, but wanted to check b/c my 2882+DSP and
ULN2+DSP are my audio interface/effx rig - Swiss army knife.  

 

Possibly making sure that everyone in the band was hearing themselves
after one set of A/D - D/A and everyone was on headphones/inear
monitoring system so everyone in sync?

 

Thanks,

 

Paul

So here's what I don't understand - I've not been comfortable 
monitoring via an a/d - d/a pathway, so always use "zero latency" to 
monitor. But the lower end hardware available makes this very 
difficult. I can monitor a summed output via the headphone out, but 
what I need is individual outs to add to the summed out on the 
headphone amp for the "more me" requests.

My Firepod can do standalone mode OR interface mode, but can't do 
both. For that I needed to have bought the FireStation, I believe. 
With most mixers and interfaces (under $800) with preamps you are 
lucky to get direct outs on 1 or 2 channels. So what do people do to 
put together a recording setup with individual monitor mixes? Is 
there some low-cost trick I am missing to split individual signals 
between the interface and headphone amp? Or am I dismissing 
monitoring through Logic when there is a low-enough latency option to 
make it work? I'm on a Mac Pro.

Thanks,

Gregory
