The Direct Outs from my two 8804's go back to my 96TT patchbays and are then patched to reverbs/delays/effects.
I do this post-fader at the 8804's, so the levels to the effects are also adjusted as I ride the faders during mixing.
The desk-top Faders and Direct Outs are big functional advantages to the 8816/8804 combination.
And, you have analog panning.
I am surprised more manufacturers haven't added these capabilities.
I wouldn't know what to do without them.
And, if you like the sound of the 8816's, which I do, then they really can't be beat for a home studio, IMHO.
