That's very true but that's not the point of this unit. Of course anybody can use a computer on stage if they want. And any DAW including RB can route multitracks out through an interface.

The question is how many performers want to use a computer on stage? What's the cost of a good laptop and a 16 output interface? Assuming this thing works as advertised which I'm not saying it does, for $400 and a $32 256 gig thumb drive like this one Sandisc loaded with more song files than you would ever need you can route 16 mono multitracks or 8 stereo pairs to a mixer for your gig.

And you do this without trying to navigate a small laptop screen with a mouse, without messing with PC configurations, worrying about glitches, some drunk knocking an expensive laptop on the floor, the battery dying or weird noises coming from the power supply, all that baggage that comes with using a laptop live on stage.
