A headphone amplifier allows for multiple headphone use. An effects processor and a digital delay unit each receive a mono input from an aux send (in post mode), and their stereo outputs connect to their respective stereo return inputs. As an alternative to hardware units, you can send aux 1 and 2 to your computer by engaging the Aux Send 1-2 to FW 5-6 switch. Then use your DAW's effects plug-ins to add effects. Return them via FireWire to the main mix. Mackie MR8 powered reference monitors are connected to the left and right control room outputs. A nice 2 track recorder is connected to the main left and right outputs to record the main mix directly. A laptop connects to the FireWire port, allowing the 2-channel main mix to be recorded and two channels to be played back. Individual channels, and aux 1 and aux 2 can also be recorded via FireWire (a maximum of 8 FireWire outs). Home Studio System: Straight to stereo 8 Onyx 820i
