Default MOTU 8 pre and traveler

my plan is to hook the 8pre into the pc via firewire and the use the
adat lightpipe on the traveler to get either 4 mikes or 4 lineins into
the 8pre at 96khz - so that would be 12 channels in all going into the
pc via the 8pre's firewire
( i am not sure but i wonder if daisy chaining the 2 devices via
firewire would achieve the same thing )


Hook the Firewire output of the 8pre to the FW input of the Traveler. I
think that'll be the simplest way to get htose 12 tracks.

Once you've got it working, compare 96 KHz against 44.1 KHz and see if
you can tell any difference. If not, why use disc space to store what
you can't hear? If you can, go for the 96 Khz.

This'll also get you direct monitoring of all channels vias CueMix.
