In an interview w/ Sound on Sound, Rob Swire of Knife Party (formerly of Pendulum) discusses how he uses his Neve 8816 Rackmount Mixer:

There's also a Neve 8816 rackmounting mixer, which is used purely for mixing line–level sources when required, as Rob is not a convert to the idea of analogue summing mixers. "I just don't buy it. I've heard examples, people have posted up examples around the 'net, and every time they do it, they go 'Listen to how much better that sounds when it's summed,' and I've always preferred the digital mix. So I think I'm just going to stick with that."

In the provided photo from an interview w/ Sound on Sound, it shows Rob Swire's studio is equipped with a Lynx Aurora 16 16-channel 24-bit/192kHz A/D D/A Converter. A simple rundown of the photo makes it clear this is used in conjunction with the 16 channels of his Neve 8816 rackmount line mixer.
