Thoughts?

Im pretty heavy into EMU's Patchmix DSP and really like it actually. The drivers do SUCK though.

One thing I do like about Patchmix and the EMU cards/interfaces is that they have onboard fx. Granted....I dont use them destructively, but they are great for basic monitoring purposes. I can direct monitor with heavy reverb, EQ, compression, trim control, delay, etc and have no latency issues whatsoever. My signal will still record dry as a bone. I've gotten pretty used to having the capability and dont really wanna lose it.

MixControl doesn't have any effects in it does it? It has routing/panning/volume controls only I'm thinking?

Any other perks/drawbacks to MixControl?

THANKS!!
