[SGVLUG] Audio mixing suggestions

[Michael Proctor-Smith via SGVLUG]

Sean,
Be very careful most of the Mixing boards with usb are only two channels of
input/output to/from the computer. So not really the same as DAW stuff
where you can capture many channels and mix it in the computer vs analog
mixing in real time and capturing the down mixed output.
