Cimo, I don't quite get it. Why are the pre amps attached to the output of the mixer? Connect the amps to the output of the Tables. Attach those to the 2 channels of Ableton. Take 2 channels to the mixer (not set on phono) use the master as an output. I am not sure exactly how you wish to use your setup. Do you wish to use ableton also for more then only these 2 tracks? Do you use normal records on the tables as well or only timecode's? Jeffry
