Depending on the mixer, you may find the BPM counters, EQ of a DJ mixer is suitable for the noise-floor of a club -- which isn't much given how loud the music is. It's very possible you'll be able to hear the beat counters and all the digital crap through the genelecs during quiet passages of 24 bit material. If you're hooking up something as nice as genelecs, you might want something with better fidelity. The above mixer has Balanced S/N 80dB... crosstalk 70dB... typical DJ mixer fare.Chances are, it's more or less the same Behringer USB interface (like on my BCD3000) which works fine for hooking up to a club system and blasting out distortion at eyeball-shaking volume... but is certainly not appropriate level of interface compared to a genelec (my behringer has terrible analog input sound/specs -- I use it as a very versatile control surface, and use it for playback of web-audio.). What about just getting an M-Audio Delta 1010 (used even), run http://mudita24.googlecode.com and skip the physical mixer... for laptop i'd skip USB and find a compatible firewire device. It's too bad there's no linux support for http://www.mackie.com/products/onyx820i/ because that series ( http://www.mackie.com/products/onyx1640i/ ) appears to be a proper integration of a high-quality mixer with a firewire interface.
