Patchbay questions

Hi,



I'm putting together my first rack and I just wanna ask if the patching like this would be correct (read: not cause any problems)



Here are is the rough idea:

The goal would be to record both digital in my DAW as analogue on my tape recorders. Without going in depth about syncing the whole thing and other problems. I just wanna know if I have the basics right? Or would you recommend something else, or is there big problem with how I'm going at it? Maybe I have the logic/reasoning behind this all wrong?



Here are the patch situations I could/would possibly have

The first possible problem that comes to mind is:

Situation 3, because I'm splitting the signal from the console's direct-out in two. 1 to the digital interface and 1 to the tape recorders will this give any impdance problems or something else maybe, is this 'allowed'?



And the second thing I'm wondering about, as in situation 4 & 5:

The tape recorder's input is still connected to the digital interface's output, although that connection is not being used. Is this a problem? Again, maybe impedance or some treble bleed via the tape's ground? (I don't know? heh )



Any tips on how to do things better (or a different approach altogether) are of course more then welcome cause I'm very new to this!



Thanks for taking the time to read this anyways kfhkh
