Thread Starter | Digital Mixer vs. Audio Interface? So, I see digital mixers that have Firewire or USB computer connectivity. What are the Pros and Cons of these versus USB 2.0 or Firewire audio interfaces? The mixers seem to pack a lot of bang for the buck; is there some obvious downside I'm not considering in looking at these types of units? Say, something like this: Roland Digital Mixer Compared to something like an Apogee Duet, which is only slightly cheaper? Or an Mbox 2 pro, which costs a bit more? |

| It really depends what you intend on using it for...... and if you plan to do your effects processing in your DAW or mixer/outboard.. |

| His link is broken - He's pointing at nothing. Generally, you get what you pay for in the low-middle of the road. -tINY |

| The Roland looks interesing. Though more than 2 or 4 inputs on a USB interface makes me nervous. It's a far bet that the Duet sounds a little bit better, but probably not a lot with well behaved microphones. -tINY |
