that behringer thingy will do just fine...so will the mackie (bit more expensive though) but at the end of the day they will do the same thing...that is unless you write automation on them. the mackie ones are smoother. but for the price...the behringer is darn good
the command 8 huh?? well...it's pretty expensive, but you get much more integration with pro tools, like plug ins, and the overall mixing will be faster and better with it.
I havent really tried the project mix to be honest...but i wouldn't really use the pres, that's for sure.
