So maybe I would like something with more headroom if thats even possible?

I was thinking having some sort of purpose built physical mixer might increase the level of control I have on my sound, and maybe let me boost my mic level without distortion. But it sounds like thats the opposite of what would happen lol
I looked that those mixers in hopes of getting more channels but you don't actually get all those channels through the USB. All you get is the stereo output of the mixer. From my understanding, they're intended to be used as mixers for live performances first and just happen to have the USB out so you can record your live show. Whereas the focusrite is intended to be an actual recording interface.

Does that make sense?
