External VLZPRO mixer why or why not?

[Skycries57]

Hello, I am mainly a guitar player and was thinking of ridding of my VLZPro Mackie mixer and going totally computer based, but if I did that, how would I use my digital delay rack mount and Boss 770 drum machine? I love my Chandler digital delay too much to rid of and also the boss 770 drumachine.
Right now I have an Audiophile sound card, M Audio DMP3 micpre,Sure SM57,58 and using Sonar 2.2 XL and Wavelab 4.0. PLEASE HELP!!! Thankyou very much! Peter ><>

KEEP YOUR MACKIE!

Even with computer based recording you need to get your signal into the computer. That means mics and preamps for any acoustic instrument or vocals.

The Mackie will provide decent pre-amps, and also a lot of other flexibility that you will want/need.

Just wait! It wont be long untill you need a soundcard with more inputs, and then you will be happy that you kept the Mackie...

Absolutely - keep the mixer. Also good for zero latency monitoring.

I dont have the VLZPRO ones. But I have the older 1202 series. I keep & use it until now, thought I got a new one (different brand). It rocks. Keep it...
