reducing studio workspace

You need something that has its own mixing app...

For example, the MOTU soundcard I have comes with an app called cuemix console, which allows me to control the level of inputs routed to my main outputs.

So if I have the Virus coming in on Stereo 1/2, and the Motif on 3/4, I can control their levels from within the app, without affecting the level going to tape.

I still prefer to use my mixer though (Mackie 1402), as it is within reach, I get to touch a fader, and not use a mouse, and not have another app open on the screen
