correct ?

Alesis has both USB and Firewire mixers. The Firewire
ones have individual channel outputs as well as a mix
output. The USB ones have only the stereo mix output.

Hmm, that's not what their web site says. See my quote from them a few
posts back in this thread. Is their web site in error?

The Multimix 8 USB: http://www.alesis.com/multimix8usb
USB 1.1 Stereo input/Output

I think the info you quoted was for the MultiMix 8 USB 2.0 model, but the
specs on their site are thin. And their frackin site won't work with Firefox
to get manuals. Bastids. Some reviews confirm that the 2.0 model sends eight
channels in via USB and two out. Being as my kid is primarily a drummer, he
wants to use that feature. He can buy his own mics for all that. ;-)
