Hello! I'm looking for an affordable solution to get more inputs for my new Force. This mixer looks nice but I'm not sure how to tell if I can get individual tracks through USB or just the full mix. If it's the full mix perhaps I will probably go with the Behringer U-Phoria UMC1820 USB Audio Interface since I've read here that it works well, even with the last update.

Thanks!

Not using that, but don't think it'll work for individual channels - USB is just for connecting to computer. I'm on the same hunt & Tascam 12 works, but I'm looking for a much smaller mixer. Anyone have experience with the Keith Mcmillen k-mix? Have seen a few ppl say that works

The X1832USB only gives back the master mix as a stereo pair over USB, so it isn't much of an audio interface in that sense. If you want a lot of channels in and out, the UMC1820 is the way to go.
