The $500 mixers that output USB only seem to output 2 channels simultaneously over USB, or did I miss something?
I just found the Soundcraft MTK 12 that outputs 12 channels over USB simultaneously.
I need about 6 XLR mono inputs, channeled to my DAW. 4 XLR or less impacts workflow.
I need 40-something KHz fidelity, not higher.
Why did the online salesperson cast doubt that most PC's could handle more than two channels coming in over USB? (this is the big unknown)
I don't need live sound, really, just a way to feed the DAW, and leave some XLR inputs plugged in to preserve workflow.
That MTK 12 costs only $450, not $900 and up as would the pure USB solutions I've found (scarlett i8 + preamp linked over ADAT)
That board isn't a perfect workflow for home recording, but I suspect it's useable.
Help.
