Thanks for sharing! Do you often use more than two inputs with
success? I have a number of devices in my office/studio and it is a
pain to be always plugging/un-plugging devices. With my current
requirements 6 would be almost enough, 8 is better/awesome.
Yes, I've used 6in/6out (+MIDI) in live situations with no problems.
Note that it has only 6 analogue ins and outs, you have to use digital
to use all 8. Also 2 headphone jacks with independent volume control
which are useful. All routable with alsamixer.
