I've had an AKAI DPS16 for a couple of years now, but the temptation to switch to computer recording became too great, and I bought a Firepod. I love the Firepod, and I want to get the Mackie Control interface to go along with it. The only problem is, and I feel guilty for saying this, the DPS 16 seems useless to me now. I should probably sell it and put the money towards the Mackie control, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make it usefull. I'm a little attached to it, but I could really use the money to buy useful toys. Right now, the only reason it's not packed up in it's case is because I don't want it to look like I have a studio with no mixer. I even have all the inputs plugged to make it look like it has a purpose there.
