Hi all,
I am sure the storms in LA have wiped out the Presonus gang for a little while and I have a bunch of questions.

So, a little about my rig. I bought the RM32ai with the goal of two things: 1) being able to record our jam sessions and work out new material but still have damn good/clean recordings 2) to record originals when the time is right. We are not playing out right now - it's just more of a weekly jam. I have a Bose L1 Model S with B2 sub that we use for the output. It is a mono only system (so I use the Mono out) so I don't have to deal with a lot of aux monitor mixes etc - just a simplified system for sure, but that being said, we use about 28 out of the 32 inputs.

Previously, I had used a Carvin C2448 - great little live mixer with a USB out so I could record the sessions. Problem was it was very difficult to dial in a good mix without "seeing" every input graphically, mostly just had to use my ears. I would just record the main mix into a stereo L/R output and then cut it up in Audacity and send it out to the band - just the clean mix of the session. Worked great for a while but had limitations.

So now I am using the RM32ai. Several questions regarding setup:

1) For the Smaart Room analysis, I purchased the PRM1 mic. But there is no "talkback" connection on the RM32AI as compared to the hardware Studiolive 32 version. I had read somewhere on the boards that for a mono system like mine, just plug into the Left Main and that will give you the mono version of the Smaart Room Wizard. The question is, where do I plug the PRM1? Into the mix outputs? When I looked at it, the mix outputs require a female XLR connector (and going from the PRM1 with a normal XLR cord gives me a male end. I did purchase a interface to give me a female end which is coming in the next few days; the only thing I can think of is to plug into one of the 16 mix outs (hardware wise), then assign that mix as the listening device for the PRM1. Presonus - you should clarify how do this on the RM32ai because the manual does not specify - we don't have that Talkback port!

2) On the UC Surface, I have figured out how to apply the Stereo Auxiliary Output to Channel 33/34 - so our last session in Capture2, it shows the signal recorded onto 33/34. But now how do I output just this 33/34 tracks so I can then cut up the session and send out for listening by the band members (I'm happy just getting a long WAV file - the session was 4 hours - then cutting it up in Audacity if I have to. Seems as tho I have the audio already, do I have to export the entire session - it takes forever to output all of the tracks, and I really only want 33/34.

Thanks in advance for your help/input!!!
