Your stuff sounds good.
Thanks.
I want to ask you, what is the advantage of routing through the 424? I have a 424 I'd like to make use of, but I wasn't sure how I'd best take advantage ofit before sending the signal into my G4....
Well, for me it's like an interface between the digital and analog worlds. The 424 has a slew of 1/4" inputs, plus the 1/4" phone jack that I use for monitoring. With Cubase, I find it best to monitor in the analog domain, meaning I don't bother listening to the recorded material "as it's being recorded". I monitor the already recorded tracks on playback, routed through the 424, and the live material through the 424 directly. Monitoring during tracking using Cubase alone results in latency that is a multiple of your disk cache. This tip is in the manual, and I found it to be a good one.
