I mix into a Yamaha 01V96 digital mixer, using ADAT lightpipe from a Motu 2408. I think it's a step above ITB mixing, but not as cool as analog. One advantage of tracking with a mixer is the ability to set up 4 independant headphone mixes for the players, assuming you have a headphone amp with seperate inputs. The mixer has EQ, phase, delay, gate and comp on every channel, plus the same for all 8 busses, and the memory is downloadable via midi so you can recall old projects. And it's got faders!
