I'm not as paranoid about that type of stuff anymore as when I first
started
with Digital - no big deal to just nudge them until they feel right.


Aha! From the responses, I thought you were asking about the "scatter"
of the eight channels over an ADAT Lightipipe.


Yeah that was something I hadn't even considered.


When mixing analog intput into some internal A/D converter with
digital intput from some external A/D converter, you really have no
information to go on. But I'd be cautious about sending the same
source through both. Obviously you don't want to send the two channels
of a stereo source through the different paths, but be careful about
leakage. Putting your drum mics through one path and vocal mics with a
lot of drum leakage (live show??) through the other path could give
you comb filtering problems.

Makes sense.
