Most of the recording boxes that attach to sound cards just have a

Analyze your intended work flow, line inputs may be all you need.
I'd
rather not spend more than $500, and I don't want to have to buy a
mixer as well. Our practice mixer is a crappy Behringer thing I'd
like to get rid of. So I'm looking at the Alesis Multimix 16 Firewire
Mixer. It's 399, but I've had bad luck with an Alesis 12r mixer, and
it only has 2 AUX outs. Yamaha hardware has never let me down. The
$499 Yamaha MG166CX-USB-16-Channel-USB-Mixer has onboard compression,
and 3 AUX outs, which would be nice for a separate IEM mix. However,
the Yamaha is USB. If I'm only recording 7 or 8 tracks at a time,
will the limitations of USB be a problem? Has anyone used one of the
Yamaha USB mixers? Any other units I should consider?
M-audio has a fairly costly mixer thingie that allows you to record the
input channels independently.
I tend to think that the 1010lt and a Soundcraft EPM, only specs knowledge
as yet, no actual experience, may be all you need.
Thanks,
