That's the thing I needed to hear.  Much obliged.

See the other reply I got - when the Mackie goes in place, I'm probably
going to have to move it to +4.  Even with RCA jacks on the Card D+.

Unfortunately, I inherited this setup.  Our company has never had a sound
studio before.  I was hired as a composer, and was given sound effects
chores as well (just because I know a bit about sound).  I'm learning a lot

documentation to read. ;-)
Thanks for the assistance!
