re: X32 DiscussionIf you are only using 24 channels, you could of course route back to 25-32. or use 25-32 as inputs and route back to 17-24.Another way, if you don't need inserts on all of the channels, is to route inserts via aux to card, but that would limit you to four external inserts. Yet another way would be to mix the channels that need processing to one or more subgroups and do the inserts there, same limitation in number of independent inserts, but you would have the opportunity to let the lead have his/her own processing and let the backing vocals share processing.Or we could ask to have the insert routing extended to include the card (something I think would make sense for a lot of applications), but that won't help you now.
