[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 66586, member: 126"] Re: Digital desk that can bus a mic input to more than 1 preamp? But do you need two complete independent mic preamps connected to one mic, or can you accomplish what you want with a post preamp split with separate gain trims. As I have speculated before, it should be possible to allow for independent gain trims even using a common preamp, taking advantage of the computer brain in the digital processing, to prevent one guy's tweaks from affecting the other. Hypothetically one could overlay a virtual monitor mixer on top of the FOH mixer if there is enough computing horsepower. You just need to page between them, or perhaps access the second via a remote control surface. I am looking at this from the $$$ cost side, and it takes a bunch more money to replicate preamps, than to replicate processing. JR PS: For the mix engineers that want to overdrive their mic preamps for some musical effect, that the other mix engineer sharing the console doesn't want, I do not see an easy solution, besides shooting the mix engineer that likes the sound of preamps clipping.
