If you're looking for the mixer to have in your home studio, to record your rehearsals while having live monitors, or if you wanna record small live gigs this is the one to buy. It's pretty easy to integrate directly with DAW software in the pc. You can have whatever eq you want on monitors that the tracks recorded by the DAW will be recorded in their raw state, for later mixing. The small minus point would be for the quality of the effects which can be slightly worse that one or two top brands (such as Yamaha), but it's such a minor detail overall, that this one is a safe bet to buy. If you're looking for a A/D interface and a mixer for live gigs, and you want to buy all in one pack, this one is to go for. Recomended
