No problem, final mixes are always done using just Ardour, and I have no intention to buy a 40 input external mixer... But the one I do have is very useful, for the reasons I gave in the previous post - flexible routing and monitoring while recording. Also for simple but practical things like talkback. And in many cases I do mix 'live' and just record the stereo result. For some types of music that's the natural way to do things - you don't want to fiddle with it afterwards. -- FA Follie! Follie!
