Hi Matt. The mixer suggestion was suggested to simplify both physical routing as well as avoiding the complexities of the Scarlett software mixer. It's a moot point now that PhillyJazz has his system working but I'm not clearly understanding your distinction between noise of an analog mixer and digital mixer. Both will inherently introduce noise and that will be determined by the quality of the mixer preamps as well as what point in the signal path after the preamp the audio is tapped for the ADC. I'm thinking most mixer line level outputs will be on par with the line out of PhillyJazz's Ketron SD1000 or audio out of his keyboard. Just curious.
