Behringer X32 mixer as interface

Can someone tell me how well the Behringer X32 mixer interfaces with Cakewalk? Can you record 32 discrete channels simultaneously? Does it playback thru the usb cable or do you use the pcs speaker out and treat it as another device? Any latency problems? Any other thoughts?

Thanks

I use an XR18 as my interface, the lowly brother of the X32, and I have absolutely no issue with it at all - it's a superb piece of kit for the money.  Latency is as good as any usb interface (unless you want to spend big bucks on RME), and you're getting 18 in (with physical connections) / 18 out (over usb), built in DSP,  a mixer with eq / compression / noise gate on each channel, and 6 busses (for outboard gear or IEM mixes) - perfect for a small band. I deal mainly with live sound, so there may be interfaces with better pre-amps etc, but for my purposes it's great.  Being able to record on 18 channels simultaneously is just great for recording live sound.

The x32 is 2 x XR18 with more (physical faders, more busses / fx slots etc).
