I don't really understand. It seems to me that you either use a computer
interrface to control all 16 channels, or you need an individual set of
controls for each channel.

Let's take a scenario. Suppose you've recorded some tracks, and you find
that in the mix, you want to cut the bass guitar by 3dB around 200hz.

What interface do you want to use to achieve this?

Tim, thanks for the question. On the backend(mix) there is no problem
other than just having some kind of tactile control like a Mackie HUI or
whatever because I'll be using the Protools or MOTU plug-ins and such to
mix within the computer. It more the input side that I have questions
about and wanting it all in the same console/controller. But the
feedback and further research leads me to think I am looking at
something like a Control 24 or 02R, or the like. That serves both as a
multi-input console and DAW control Surface. What have you found to be
succesful?
