Or just pick a desk that has a great master 2 buss or one that you can mod to be great. If you are getting most of what you want during tracking then Jules approach makes the most sense (short path, a few tools where you need them at the mix stage). If on the other hand you have alot more tracks or tend to do much more outboard sound sculpting at the mix stage then the flexability of using desk/outboard/patchbay could be to your advantage (short and long audio paths). Not having automation on a desk is not the big deal it once was as some of that can easily be automated with the DAW. Recall may be a big deal though and should be a factor in your decision. If fast recall is very important and you want the advantages of a desk then research the digitally controlled analog desks. Is your 8 channel Rosetta your only converter? Remember you will need lots ot D/A with a big desk at mixdown.
