Yes, standalone mode means you can use the digi as a plain mixing desk, but you would then only have 8 channels. The rack version doesnt have standalone mode, there would be no way to adjust levels etc.
I'd really have to say that if all you want is a digital mixing desk then you will get more bang for your buck elsewhere, the digi is only worth it if you are going to use pro-tools.
I keep reading about pro-tools not having good midi sequencing capabilities, but I would disagree. I can't help but feel that people saying this may have been using an old version as version 6 seems very fully featured and easy to use.
