Ah so no audio over usb? That’s what I like about the Tascam, I can route out tracks from the MPC (and hopefully machine +) to the mixer channels. And alternatively use the mixer as a multitrack audio interface to the computer.

I can leave the mixer somewhere close to the gear, and put the Faderfox anywhere else on the desk I need it, or hand it over to one of the other guys to mix during a session.  I don’t even think about them as separate components any more, they just work .. its like having a mixing console with a detachable interface.
