...or in other words: splitting signals via patchbay is okay, mixing not so much (but even this shouldn't damage any gear).
Yea, I want to primarily use it for patching in the Apollo monitor outs when needed. I’ll have the Orion 32 monitor outs normalled to the dbox plus analog input source on the patchbay. Sometimes if I’m tracking through the Apollo unison pre amps, I would prefer to monitor straight from the Apollo outs, rather than sending out adat to the Orion while tracking. I’m using the Orion for mixing, and tracking with external pres. I’m just not sure if that extra path to the patchbay would degrade the sound coming from the Orion outputs. I guess it’s only one way to find out
