iLive/Waves/Recording

Hi Folks:

I’ve pretty much got my iLive inventory complete. My setup includes:

-T-112, T-80
-iDR-48, iDR-16, both with ACE cards in Port B
-xDR-16 with a waves M2 card in Port B

This spring I’ll be adding a PC DAW and Waves Server One. I’d like to be able to run Waves plug-ins, record at least 48 tracks and play them back for virtual sound-checks, both with a Single Board and FOH/Monitor split setup (see attached diagram). I’d like to keep the DAW and Waves Server at FOH, so I thought having the xDR-16 fed from the Port B ACE card from the Mixrack would allow placement (via a second Cat5 snake) back to the board. I’m a little confused as to how many tracks I’ll be able to play back from the DAW through the xDR-16 to the Mixrack: some literature says 48 tracks while others say 16 tracks. I also want to be able to route the playback tracks back to their respective Inputs on the board. Is what I’m trying to do possible?

-thanks, Mark
