This is why God created mixers, no?

Of course! :o)

But I haven't yet managed to con God into providing me with all the
gear I'd like, e.g. a mixer that's high-quality enough to add no noise
to the signal. So until I find out exactly which prayer accomplishes
this, i figure it'd be best to bypass my el-cheapo mixer whenever I
digitize a synth part, non? ;-)

Mais non. Vous avez demandez les questions in the context of whether 
to get an 828 for a few hundred bucks so you could have multiple 
outputs. A used Mackie CR1202 - $100? - is plenty quiet for submixing 
synthesizers.

Not quite. Multiple INputs.

Not in Australia, mon ami.

Mais oui, but space is also an important consideration. I'd rather treat 
the back of my current mixer and the back of a 2-input audio thingie 
(e.g. Mbox, US-122) as a patchbay than have to rearrange my rack, desk 
and powerboards.

And, as mentioned in another post, I'm hoping the sale of Mbox and 
current mixer will pay for an 828. Problem solved! (Fingers crossed!!!)


Cheers,   Bill, whose complete French vocab has just been displayed ;-)

PS: an 828 is also only half the size of my current mixer, and about 1/4 
the size of the current mixer, Mbox, and a Mackie 1202 combined.

Ah oui. J'ai un 828 de MOTU, le premiere edition, et il et tres bon.

Et maintenant je fermai la bouche, parce-que j'ai exhaust\ufffd mon 
vocabulaire compl\ufffdte aussi.

Sprechen sie Deutsche? Nicht Mir.

I can still understand you though. :o) Funny how French to English is 
easier than the other way round for someone who hasn't studied it for... 
vingt-six ans.

Ein bi\ufffdchen, but let's not go there! =:-O
