I just want to make sure I understand this before potentially causing a problem. Currently, I have the LT phantom powered by a MEG. If I want to use the software editor, I turn the rig off and then hook up a USB cable from my computer. Needless to say, this can be tiresome if you just want to make a quick edit. If I am understanding you reply correctly, there is no need to power down the rig if I want to use the software editor. I can phantom power the LT AND use a powered USB cable at the same time without hurting the LT. Thanks.
