thanks for the feedback -- i know to some degree i'll just have to try and see what works, but i didn't want to run into a situation where i spent time and money on a solution only to find out afterward that a basic element of the plan made the whole thing fail.

i'm mostly a tinkerer rather than a sit-down-and-learn-er. i've been using cubase for 2 years and just learned about using sends instead of inserts yesterday. yes, i'm a little bit impatient - comes from using hardware for so long i suppose - just turn it on and press record was a lot easier, but there's no denying the advantages of using a DAW anymore.

so i'm going to get a hub, plug the e-drums and dongle into it, plug the interface directly into the computer, use the interface as the stereo out in cubase, and if i'm thinking clearly, should be able to monitor everything from there.... right?

thanks again.
