I'd like to just use the DAW software I prefer to contain my entire workflow. I don't love the idea of having to use 2 pieces of software to make/mix a song. I saw the 2 headphone out ports on this and got excited because I could send one to the other room for someone to monitor and I could listen on headphones in the other room without having the mains blaring. There's not a lot of acoustic separation between the rooms.
