Yeah, I have wondered about digital distortion. Could be a bad idea having it on the outs on SX. I used to watch the levels coming and avoid clipping, then after seeing someone have lots of it on there I just stopped keeping everything below 0db. Not much point in that what I can distort using the gains on the desk. Maybe I could get a better sound to the mix if I avoid digital distortion from the soundcard? I do find you can realy manipulate sounds with it, brings out the eq in certain areas more. Its great stuff me thinks.
