I have question that risks me sounding incredibly noobile but -

We want to run a two man outfit (guitar/bass) sans drummer and I want to use ableton to run drum tracks and maybe a synth track to the FOH from a Tascam US -16x08 via a few of its 8 line outs. So I just write up the tracks for kicks/snares/OH separately, route em through to specific outs on the interface and from there hand the FOH a few line outs as if they were just mics?

Basically how would you, as the FOH, prefer this to happen?
XLR or balanced 1/4-inch?
Would we/you benefit from further separation of tracks? (hats/cymbals/aux percussion, etc)
Could we also run the vocals through the interface on stage for dumbass effects the FOH board may not have or would we have gain-staging issue?
Do I want one of these or would that be redundant in this case?

We are definitely not attempting to mix anything from the stage/we realize that is asinine. Also we obviously aren't going to be playing coachella so imagine we're working with the sound bloke at the local bar.

edit: I assume I would use the stage snake if they have one but curious about sending line-level to the thing?

These are good questions and pretty easy to answer...

I think this clears up everything quite nicely. Honestly I doubt we'll use any kind of over-the-top vocal processing but I wanted to ask for future case. I read somewhere that you can send the house a dry mic single first, then they give us a return of that line that we run through a processor and then give them a wet single back. So I guess this would end in them having each a wet and dry vocal track to mix to taste. This seems like a kind of round-a-bout way to "Y" the signal where I suppose you could just use a specific piece of hardware/cable instead.

Thanks btw!
