i'm getting a 2882 in a month and plan on using it on an orchestral recording gig.
my conundrum is that i will be using an 11 mic set up so that means 3 more preamps than the MIO has. i will use focusrite's octopre(without ADAT I/O) for the extra channels. my recording medium will be an alesis HD24. does have anyone have any suggestions on how to route this without me having to rent an extra mixer for monitoring utilizing just my MBP and the MIO monitoring software?
also, will the preamps of the MIO be capable of producing enough gain to maje a good representation of the whole dynamic range of classical music? my four main mics will be DPA 4006 in an AB config and U87's as out riggers on the far side of the stage.
thanks
