Thanks all. I use the Echo Layla 3G and it's level interface is pretty good, and I have it opened a lot anyway.
So, this may start to veer OT, but as I'm setting my record levels from my sound card, and I'm setting my monitoring levels from Sonar faders, I'm guessing the mix down option that would best represent the mix I'm monitoring is using the "what you hear" option. Is that correct?
I wish I could answer with a yes or no but this question, is in my mind, premature. You are still at the recording stage and mixdown should not be a thought in your mind. After you have recorded all your tracks then you need to listen to the song critically and with a mixer's ear. When you have decided what could use some EQ and perhaps compression and maybe some reverb you still are just at the beginning stage of mixing.
When all that is done and you are happy with your final mix then and only then is it time to think about mixdown. With MixRecall you have a way to have more than one mix at your beck and call to choose from. And no don't use "what you hear". Use the master buss as the source for your mix to stereo.
