Hello All,

Yep , +1 for edirol sound cards , in fact i have a FA101 10 in 10 out fw
card with cables and a pci-e interface card that i don't need anymore ,
open to offers via direct email.

I used to use it for recording live bands , i plugged each channel in to
the group outs from the mixer , this then allowed me to create a mix
for streaming without cluttering up the mixer but getting the benefit of
the sound engineers gain staging and EQing. Never dropped a beat.

Cheers
Amias
