talk to mackie about this. the D8B (and many other digital mixers) are
definitely heading in the opposite direction.
digital changes everything. first, non-zero latency. second, cost
savings. third, better integration and performance.
if it was analog, i'd agree with you entirely. but as is, even trying
to get a functioning digital patchbay seems more or less impossible
now, let alone connecting a whole bunch of external digital gear for
inserts, sends, etc.
