Would you consider a digital mixer such as http://www.mackie.com/products/onyxiseries/ as containing an audio interface?

If you're looking to integrate your interface with your mixer it seems like a digital mixer might be worth looking into. You could ditch the interface entirely and get all your input channels on the mixer as inputs in your DAW, as well as have the benefit of having an analog outboard mixer(along with the option to MIDI control your software mixer)

Alesis announced a new series of audio interfaces at NAMM this week:

http://www.musicradar.com/us/news/tech/namm-2014-core-audio-interface-range-revealed-by-alesis-592061/1

I'm particularly interested in the Core 2, but I have no idea about Alesis' reputation for this sort of thing. No detailed specs yet, and no release date. The fact that the pictures are cgi rather than photos may be telling.

A lot of the large equipment companies are all conglomerated under the InMusic corporation now... Akai, Alesis, M-Audio and more: http://www.inmusicbrands.com

Not sure how that extends to or affects their manufacturing and product design, but it's worth keeping in mind that all these "competitors" are under the same parent.

Picked up the MOTU I listed earlier, got a crazy good deal on it and a 12u SKB both in perfect shape.

Works perfectly with the TB - FW adapter and a 9 to 6 pin cable with zero issues.

Can you post a pic of how it looks set up? I want to get a rack mount mixer but I can't exactly visualize how it looks when it's set up. Is it awkward to use?
