In general, the features of the mixer are optimized for live use (and some capture/record the live show as an extra benefit), whereas the interface is optimized for recording and playback of the recordings and is used in combination with a DAW application running on your computer.

Primary use would be home recording, but I have been toying around with adding another mic or two to my setup, which would require the addition of extra channels. Also, with my current setup (guitar-mic-interface-garageband) I have to turn the levels up to the point of clipping in order get a decent over-all volume level.unless I export the finished project as an MP3 then bring it back into garageband to bring the volume up more. 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
