Hi, not to steal your thread but I've been looking into using an outboard mixer in the future to have functionality to record individual outputs directly into Ableton...

From looking around thinking along the lines of:
Presonus StudioLive AR12 or 16c, Signature 12 MTK, Tascam Model 12 Analog Mixer with Digital Recorder...

Anyone have any experience of doing this AND/OR recommendations of product above or other?

no, but - make sure whatever you do get has proper multitracking and attenuators (possibly called pads) on the way in...

Utility modules are the dull polish that makes the shiny modules actually shine!!!
