Will I get better quality inputs for sampling via the XLR/TRS inputs or the Phono RCAs? Has anyone done tests and noticed a difference?

Thanks!

I'm also wondering if it is an issue to have something plugged into both inputs, is that an issue?

i.e. an output from my DJ setup to the XLR and a turntable on the phono RCAs... Will both be hot or will neither work if both are connected?

Thanks again.

You select between the Record In and the Phono In in the sampling screen, so no issue having both plugged in, they don't work at the same time as each other.

Thanks man, thanks for being patient... I'd get my head round it all when I switch it on I'm just thinking ahead!

PEACE!
