Or if u have multiple inputs on your sound card and multiple outs (u can use the aux send for instance) on yer mixer u can record diferent sounds 2 seperate audio tracks at the same time.

As 2 useing yer mixers eq. hummm I think U probably get a hell of a lot better results If u have some quality waves/ TC stuff... but then again this will hog up yer CPU!


Also the m,ixer is a good way 2 hear instruments mixed (and get enought Mic pre-amps) together with yer cubase (be it VST and/or audio tracks) b4 u decide 2 commit those instruments into audio tracks for further processing!


Some people just use all the processing/ and sound sources from they're software (+audio tracks) and then feed'em 2 seperate tracks on the mixer 4 live work or mixes bcause the just prefer 2 feel/ ride the faders (real faders)...


So it's a bit up 2 the quality of yer Mixer aswell...
