So, yes, there 16 mixers with each 18 inputs, that's it? > And it has a (matrix-)router to bring all these together.

Mmmmmh. OK, I think I understand, but not sure, though. - 1st question: are the jack client corresponding to each hardware inputs automatically routed to the hardware inputs? the same for the outputs? I ask this question because on the mixer provided by Focusrite, you have to tell that Analog In 1 goes to DAW 1 (for example). - 2nd question: if not, is there a way to get them connected? Actually, I get no sound when connecting firewire_pcm[gnagna]:capture_1 (which is a guitar) to firewire_pcm[gnagna]:playback_9/10 (which are the phones), though I can get signal on firewire_pcm[gnagna]:capture_1 when connecting it in Ardour (for example). > Note that a source can be connected to many > sinks, but a sink can only receive the signal of one source, its a router, not > a mixer after all.
