Hi,

I have a FF800 using Logic 8.0 and a pair of monitors coming out of AN 1+2.

All the channels in Logic are set-up to go out via outputs 1+2 to TotalMix, where they then go on to AN 1+2.

I don't have live-room or do much vocal recording as most of my music is synthesizer / internally based.

Therefore, I don't use many of the outputs much, but I was wondering whether this would have an impact on my mix quality?

For example:  Let's say this is a typical project at the moment:-

Drums   >>> Outputs 1+2 in Logic >>> AN 1+2 to Monitors
Bass     >>> Outputs 1+2 in Logic >>> AN 1+2 to Monitors
Synth   >>> Outputs 1+2 in Logic >>> AN 1+2 to Monitors
Strings  >>> Outputs 1+2 in Logic >>> AN 1+2 to Monitors

I was wondering.  What effect on sound quality would the FF800 deliver if I changed the setup to this:-

Drums   >>> Outputs 1+2 in Logic >>> AN 1+2 to Monitors
Bass     >>> Outputs 3+4 in Logic >>> AN 1+2 to Monitors
Synth   >>> Outputs 5+6 in Logic >>> AN 1+2 to Monitors
Strings  >>> Outputs 7+8 in Logic >>> AN 1+2 to Monitors

The reason I ask, is because I got it into my head, that somehow it might sound cleaner and less muddy if everything wasn't crammed into 1+2.

Is this true, or am I just deluding myself!?

Any help would be great!
