If the DAW's A/D accepts line level sources, then yes, of course.

It's no different than having a mixer's direct outs (or record outs) plugged into the inputs of the converter.

What converter are you talking about?

Any converter that accepts line (or mic) level inputs for use with a DAW.

The Firepod that you mentioned does.

Computers don't understand analog signals, they operate on ones and zeros.

Any rackmount, desktop, or portable device that routes an analog signal into a computer is a converter (more precisely, an Analog to Digital converter).

The ones that do the opposite (run signal out of the DAW) are Digital to Analog converters.

Oh that makes sense, duh....
So it's safe to safe that preamps such as firepods, toneports and all that are essentially converters? What if I took a firepod and ran it into another firepod and then into my DAW?

Firepods and I assume Toneports are preamps and converters rolled into one. Hooking one up to the other won't do anything for you.

so then i would plug multiple firepods into a converter?
Sorry.... im lost though...

No. The firepod is a converter.

What if I took a firepod and ran it into another firepod and then into my DAW?

You can daisy chain up to three maximum of them, which will triple your available channels.

Would you mind explaining how one might accomplish this?
Thanks

Loop the firewire output to the input of the next firepod, then out of that one into the next, and finally, out of that one and into the CPU.

oh ok, that maes sense, but what If I was running another preamp into the first firepod?

I drew you a picture:

I hope that helps. :)
