i see.
looking at it i see no ins on it. would i have to record with something else (i currently use an m-audio delta 1010lt) then i would use this to do all the post-tracking editing? thanks.
steve
ps, i take it this can be used to edit both midi and audio? thanks

Well you can use the Mackie while tracking, remember it is a software controller. Just record like you normally do and the instead of using your mouse and keyboard you use the MCU, and yes you can edit Midi with the MCU.......

oh yeh i understand, but what i mean is i wouldnt use it like i use my current mixer for. thats great, thanks for your help carter. i never knew that you could control audio as well as midi and all the other functions thru a midi cable. is this how it works?

Tascam makes a few but I dont think the build quailty is as good as the Mackie, save your money and get the Mackie you'll love it!!!!

hehe heh yeh i think these generally look better too... i like the look of the v-pots and the blue LCD... and the 7segment time display looks well good too, so i got the quality and the looks.. a fair bit of saving to do still though... do you know anyone who does a good deal on these babies where i might be able a few pennies? thanks again for your help!
