EDS 1, mixer A, MEC1

EDS 3, mixer C, MEC2
Make sure you have a wordclock cable of quality from MEC1 to MEC2
You will be able to stream 24 channels per MEC, but only record 16 per MEC
(due to channel limitations, but you can push more audio down the auxes if
you have the inputs). Be aware that

playing field. It seems to all about convenience and loudness these
days, though I don't think that the new PT HD sounds bad either. There are 5
studios here, .mine, one that uses DP and 3 that use PTHD. All of us can
produce a professional sounding product. I'm going to be working more at 96k
in the future which will keep me *in the box* and native. It will be really
interesting to learn to mix more conservatively. I've never done it.
