I started out using a mixer for live playing and could output left/right via USB for recording. I could fake this to be a dual channel recording setup. But I wanted to record 4 distinct channels and post process so I switched to a 4 channel USB audio interface so we could record 4 live tracks on the laptop. I thought this cold be used for live playing as well. What I've found is because of processing delays causing slight echoes it's not realistic to use this setup for live mixing. So I'm wondering if anyone can recommend an 4 o 8 channel mixer that also digitizes and output all the channels via USB to the laptop. But also be a full front end mixer would also work for live playing.

I hope this question makes sense.
thanks
