If you don't mind blowing a whole Card on it and have a hardware
compressor --- this is what I do (maybe not the purist way, but I like it
....):

Assign all drums to any stereo aux.

Set that aux to post (so your fader moves matter)

mute the card you are doing this on (in the global mixer)

send the aux to an output (it will still send despite the fact that the card
itself is muted in global stereo bus)

Split that output

send one signal right back into the in of another card (since it is in
realtime either live input, or an aux return)

send the copy through an analog comp. and return in the same manner.

your other auxes (like drum verbs, and even additional tracks) from the
muted card can be returned the same way via analog chain (as with the
drums), spdif (from one mec to another) or even an adat card from one mec to
another.

I bought a DA16X to gain decent sounding outs which also provides me with
great stereo outs for my monitoring.

Cheers,
Ted

Ted, I wonder if this would work for me? Here is the setup. I have a 2 card
sys with Mec on 1 card and 442 on the other (BNCed together). I have a 3rd
card stored in box (backup) along with a spare 442 and 2 IF2s. I don't have
a master clock gen to use a third interface so the spare 442 is out but I
was wondering If I could use and IF2 on the third card if I was to install
it to do the drum buss comp thing? I know you need a clock gen to do 3 MECs
or 3 442s but to 2 MECs and an IF2 plugged directly onto the third card,
anyone ever tested this?

Thanks
Rob

That is a nifty idea. What is this DA16X?

Rob,

According to the PARIS manual, you can't connect an IF2 directly to an EDS
card in a multi-card system.

Cheers,

Stewart.
