You probably want to check out the Team SD 7xx threads. I sat down with mine and went through every menu several times. But there are some things that are a little tricky, until you get used to them, like the mic/line switch on the XLRs. Make sure you check to see that they are in the right place. It's a great machine, and definitely run at 24/96, if not for your listening today, then for tomorrow. And as mentioned above, if not running an external pre, you do not want to clip. In those cases, I let peaks hit -6db max.
