I would think it should work. You will have to do a soundcard calibration that includes the full in/out path. The soundcard cal routine and subsequent loopback cable measure will tell you if it's going to work or not. Note any deficiency in the mic preamp won't be included in the soundcard cal routine, but that would be quite minor in its effect.

That can't be accomplished by looping the mixer's XLR output to an XLR input?

Well, you could, but I think using the mixers XLR input path wouldn't be the same path used during the measure routine when he's using the line in on the board from the line-out of the soundcard. I was trying to avoid any response differences so the soundcard cal would be as accurate as possible (save for the mic amp itself).

I also figure that the mic path might be a bit too twitchy because of the high gain of the mic amp itself.

Anyway, these are things for Mike to consider...
