RE: The best way to route the signal...
Noraml -
an even better way to handle your setup would be to run the alt 3/4 outputs of your mixer to the INputs of your soundcard. Then run your soundcard outputs to 2 channels on your mixer (or 2-track tape return or aux return... whatever). Then just route the main outs (or control room outs if you have em) to your amp. That way, if you want to record something, hit the "alt 3/4" button on that channel, lifting it from the main outputs, and running it to your soundcard via outputs 3/4. Then you'd hear that sound through your soundcard's monitoring setup, and fed back to your mixer via the soundcards outs. Make sense? It's a classic split console setup.
I have the first Mackie 1202 mixer... I'd kill for those alt 3/4 outs... very useful. As it is, I use a patchbay to get my synths into the computer.
