Just trying to get a visual here...
Mic preamps, converters, & audio interfaces in a 8-space rack with a Mac Pro sitting on top in the back or side corner of the stage. There's no to or from stage. Stage is home base.

Mics patched into the preamps in the back of the rack.

Main and monitor mix outputs go to either the amp rack directly or the stage box and thru an existing system for a festival hit when I'm working with a band. IEM's patch into the front of the rack (there's a headphone amp in there too).

I use VST fx on track inserts. Both input tracks and tracks used as fx buses.
