THIS OR THAT

with thw 828 yo udon't need an external mixer - cuemix takes care of that for you - no latency hardware monitoring. And you don't need your mac/pc turned on to use it as a mixer. take a peek at it a motu.com

what about software.

I mean, that could be a choice for you. The emu software looks nice.

But is that what you wanna use? and same with motu, if you gotta fork over $$$ for software, you might be better off with the emu.

just a thought, peace.
