For one, you get to mix on a mixer – something not done since the days of 2˝ tape. You get the benefits of using analog EQ and the ability to incorporate your rackmount gear as well. Also, the summing bus on the Onyx 1640i is extremely high quality and noticeably different from the sonic character of common DAW summing algorithms.
