Hey, I have a quick question about the purpose and necessity of having a mixer. Im in the process of putting together a small home studio and am trying to make some educated decisions on what exactly is necessary vs merely comfort. I plan on using the digi 002R and using a Octane preamp. What exactly is the purpose of using a mixer between the mics and the oo2r/octane. I dont need more inputs (I would have 16) and I can do mixing in the box. Im assuming that they are mainly used to get the sound in the ballpark and then do the fine tuning later. Am I right? Also, would I benefit greatly from using a control surface? I dont personally have a problem using the mouse. Some swear by control panels and some dont seem to mind. Any opinions and comments are appreciated. Spelling Bee
