Hi man, I'm going to have to agree with Kevin on this one. I've tried that route with sonar and other things, and the latency is so bad that every things pretty much unusable. I bought a focus rite 6 USB used for about a hundred and twenty bucks, and it works great. Sell the mixer and grab an interface. that's my suggestion. I hate to be yet another bearer of bad news… I hope this helps, and best of luck to you!!! Chris Harrington, . On Sep 29, 2011, at 3:44 PM, Kevin Reeves wrote:
