The new M-Audio ProjectMix I/O is a control surface with motorized faders and 18 x 14 audio interface, 8 preamps and a LCD display.

The ProjectMix I/O boasts seamless integration with all major DAW software. All software? Hmmm. I wonder? ProjectMix should be compatible with Pro Tools, Ableton Live 5, Logic, Cubase, Digital Performer and SONAR. Any software that supports Mackie Control, Logic Control or HUI protocol.

ProjectMix has on-board display of critical parameters for intuitive operation. As well as professional multi-channel Mic/Instrument preamps, lightpipe and S/PDIF.

ProjectMix features:

• Record directly into Pro Tools
• Motorized faders
• 18 x 14 firewire interface
• 8 phantom powered mic/line preamps
• LCD display
• Dedicated transport controls
• ADAT lightpipe, S/PDIF and word clock I/O

The M-Audio ProjectMix I/O runs for about $1,600 bones. I'm hoping the price will come down. Seems a little pricey to me. But definately a cool looking peice of equipment.
