hinking to myselft the other this very same thing."It should
have an ASIO driver that can allow for up to 16
channels/submixes of passive analog summing (or if not that, at
least DSP summing through something other than the PC's CPU)
your box & return to 2 new channels in the DAW app - if you can
do onboard DSP EFX, you can do onboard summing, too, yes sir
you KNOW you can!"
I full concurr with your want list. This ype of product is not to be found
today..
Emu, is he closest I've seen to approach this level of complete ness.
Although , the new Apogee (Mac only ) unit is close, but lacking he on board
dsp fx..
