ah yes ... speck. they make this mixer now: 
http://www.speck.com/xmix_2.shtml
it has _it's_ limitations, as well. you get 8 busses and 8 sends, but they
aren't independantly addressable.

so frustrating an issue ... it makes me want to build my own mixer from
synthesizers.com modules hahahah....

_that's_ the one that i wanted originally. i really am not a big fan of 
linear
potentiometers ... knobs have always felt better to me.

on a completely different note, i'm rather impressed with your resume ... 
having
worked with 2 of the most-interesting-yet-underrated female musicians of 
the
20th century: diamanda galas and pauline oliveros.  i believe we have dear
pauline to thank for this whole ambient looping thing.

oh yeah and diamanda is the sexiest woman alive. :)
