ok there are 1/4" outputs from the mic pre over the left ...
but not for 1 / 2 ? so maybe u have to use mic pre 3 or 4
and route the output of 3 or 4 to the input of 5/6 which will
then get put to the s/pdif ?? it all depends on how it functions
in standalone mode re: routing, but i think for it to work in standalone
u have to have the firewire cable disconnected otherwise it will want u to have
a different computer to adjust the routing with software
ok there is 1/2 outputs.. right there it says "main 1/2"
so yea the suggestion i had to make was to route the output from the mic pre directly to the input of whatever channel is set to go to the s/pdif .
trial + error .. maybe this is not how this unit works.. like u have had fun in pointing out- i have not had 'my hands on a digi 002' but i think that what u are trying to do should be possible to accomplish *somehow* so giving up would not be an optiion for me!
