Recording Direct Into Digi002 (mixer Or No?), Record direct into Soundcard Options

[kevindetroit]

Hey everybody,

Curious, just picked up Digi 002 Rack and wondering if most people run thier synths, samplers, drummachines direct into the soundcard or do you run through the mixer. I have a Mackie 24, but honestly don't dig the sound on it (too muddy). The only thing I have running through it right now pre my digi 002 is the tr808 drum machine to get that analog distortion warmth. But curious as too what other people do?

Thanks,

Kevin Reynolds
