Well I can simultaneously record all channel strip input from the mixer but not to separate tracks unfortunately. The advantage is I can monitor the control room which mixes tape input and channel strips while recording just the input to the channel strips. I generally record my bass or vocals this way. The nice thing is no computer power required to monitor.

The other thing is I can output a track from my PC to a channel strip and record with external FX. Before getting the saffire I had to mute all other tracks so I couldn't hear the whole mix. I understand there may be ways to do this in the PC but I prefer external moitoring.
