This is exactly what I do now: I use a headphone amp connected to
outputs 1 and 2 of my Delta 66. The headphone amp has pass-through
line outputs so I also connect my hifi for when I want to use
speakers.
I like this a lot more than trying to use a small mixer for both mic
inputs and monitoring, since I'm incapable of remembering to mute the
mixer channels I'm using for monitoring while recording!
The on-board Delta mixer, when used with envy24control, works out pretty well.
I consider mixers obsolete in the studio.
I recommend you simply hook up your sound interface's outputs to active
studio monitors and control which tracks are to be recorded and played
with ardour's per-track 'mute' and 'rec' buttons.
That's exactly what I've been getting hung up on, but I think I might
have found a solution: use a headphone amp. I don't have monitors (I
have young children, and most of my work is done at night, so I have
to keep it quiet). I think I'll just run the output into a headphone
amp. That should work, shouldn't it?
