If you are looking for a great mixing board to go with your computer interfaces, the M Series from Soundcraft is awesome! I just got the M12 (12 analog in, 4 stereo in, with direct outs on all channels, plus a S/PDIF out) and I love it. The built on preamps sound wonderful and the board is all around flexable with about everything. It cost around $700 brand new, but it is very well worth it.

Got a question, this might be a stupid one but I was wondering this. This board also have 4 Aux. Can I use these to do sub bussing? I have the Aark 20/20+ for my computer but only have 8 ins on that and so I'm trying to figure out a way to have all the vocalist (got 4 of them) to fit in along with all the rest of the instruments so all can be recorded live. Any help is appreicated.

nice board! :O) not sure about your auxes, but i figured out i can use my Aux Send 1 on my little Behringer board as a third bus because it's pre-fader :O)

My Aux 1 & 2 are pre-fade and Aux 3 & 4 are post-fade? So, you think I can do this? Not exactly sure what the pre and post differences are.

i think pre and post fader lets you either have a totally "wet" signal coming back into the returns, or mix a wet/dry mix instead.

but additionaly "pre fader" lets you turn the main channel fader all the way down therefor letting the auz send act as a direct out without sending the channel to the main mix. instant extra bus!
