There's 8 sliders to keep your fingers busy during mixing.



Where do I send outputs 9 thru 16?



You don't send outs anywhere - you keep them inside the DAW software for the whole thing.

Look, you can reliably fade 8 or so channels at once unless you have multiple persons on deck. If you were going there - that is, fade over 8 tracks at once, then my suggestion doesn't work.

The way this works, Eddie, is you simply use the control surface to lay out what the volume level of each track will be for the song inside your DAW software. There's no 'sending' at all.

This is how most of the mixing that your friend with the ProTools rig is doing it, unless he sends every channel out for outboard processing (highly unlikely), he's mixing in the box - the computer that is.

He's not recording to a second computer or even a second program. He's putting a stereo mix down as another track right inside the same project.

If you want to send out some tracks to outboard processing, it's still possible, and they would need to return back into the interface and get recorded to new tracks. This is still possible with your MOTU gear, just not both modules unless you really need to send 16 tracks out to 16 different processors. If you can live with 8 outs and ins, then the control surface should work a treat (If PG software can make use of the control surface communications info).

But I submit that you will have better results mixing entirely inside the computer.
