usign a USB mixer instead of a DJ sound card?
Is this a good idea? I’d love to the have the flexibility of a mixer but still have good quality audio out. Was thinking something like this: http://www.zzounds.com/item--ALEMULTIMIX8USB
IMHO?
No.

You’d be better off getting a soundcard and mixing externally

.. I don’t quite get it… is that like a mixing desk to use with Traktor? seems abit over kill to me.. 
I could be wrong, but I think mixers like that only have 1 input and 1 output for recording/master. The closes sound card I would use to that is the Novation NIO even though it’s not a true mixer, but does have enough ins and outs.
waiiit a sec.. you’re going to outboard your music through an 8 channel mixer? essentially this mixing desk is a souncard with 8 channels and EQs.. I’d probably recommend you scrap that idea (no hard feelings meant..) and just get (as J-Reign suggests) a soundcard with volume/gain control. If you’re ever thinking about playing out in a venue, you’re gna regret trapsing around with an 8 channel mixer… unless you feel like getting creative - then you might as well takes some synths down, and perhaps some bongos, and you have yourself a nice little one man live set going! 
If I had a skills, (or the gear.. and a van) I’d probably do that. Seriously though, go simple (its better if it fits into a rucksack of course). I know this is for Torq, but check this one out: http://www.htfr.com/more-info/MR241896
It works really well with traktor, and you’ve 2 huge dials on the front. A mate of mine picked one up for pennies to go with Ableton, and I’ve often borrowed it off him when my audio 8 isnt handy - does the job really well.
Peace 
I might be wrong but I would consider that device as a mixer with a built in usb soundcard and its only 1 in and out
yeah, but with 8 channels.. useful if you’re setting up a studio with a few synths into a DAW I guess?
I think you can only do 1 stereo channel in and out to pc… read the 2nd review where the guy says its good if you only need to record 1 channel. Also the specs say 1 in and 1 out, that might be fine for you but you should look at the specs again if you think its 8 in and out from pc also.
what to u mean one in one out? surely the whole point of having a USB mixer is that you have the 8 channels on the mixer into whatever DAW you use. Otherwise it would be a 1 in 1 out soundcard with 8 redundant channels?
I could only assume it was 8 ins 1 out…
