All my synth are connected to a mixer through the patchbay. My mixer has a main bus, a Alt 3-4 bus and a control room output connected like this:
Control room out -> Monitors
Main out -> Not connected
Alt 3-4 -> Audio interface in
This way i can record a synth by pushing the "Alt 3-4" button on the mixer channel i wish to record and i can adjust the monitor volume on the control room fader and monitor the signal level i send to the audio interface input. I love this setup and wouldn´t live without my mixer. Also because i like to play my synth without having to turn on my computer first. If your computer is always on and you feel like you don´t need a mixer, no problem, just use the software mixer.
