I record through my mixer, but need to monitor through the soundcard in my comnputer. Is it possible to have the mixer as input and the soundcard as output for monitoring?

Generally, you'd have your mixer connected to your sound card in order to record... unless your mixer is also a soundcard? Which one is it?

If you look in Live's Audio preferences you can set input & output independently.
Suit #1: I mean, have you got any insight as to why a bright boy like this would jeopardize the lives of millions?
Suit #2: No, sir, he says he does this sort of thing for fun.

The mixer is connected via firewire, and when selected as the input device eliminates the independent input/output function.
