OVERALL OPINION

I use the Mackie for some time now. It has its place in my home studio and filled its function "Hub-Audio" brilliantly.
Found with this model quality electronics of the VLZ series, plus routing to the computer by firewire of all entries. Converters are transparent, have a good dynamic.
While I personally have not used outside the studio, I'm sure she will do in the sound and live recording of a small group.
A minor complaint ... midi implementation and the ability to drive even that basic transport functions of a DAW would have been nice. Concurence there have been but after the release of this excellent console.
Good stuff anyway
