yo - very generic posts - did a quick search...........my question is so broad i dunno where to start so i figured i'd post here

im thinking about adding a mixer to my setup - what do you all reccomend?

i record to a hard disk 16 track recorder now - i dont need additional tracks - but i only input from the mpc and my proteus sound module using one input on the track machine - its a hi Z input and it gives me the best sounds.........i want to add a mixer maybe with a few effects too cuz im not feelin' the effects on my 16 track........give me some reccomendations please............oh and budget wise i really dont know how much i should need to spend - how many channels - im really up in the air

ill probably run my keyboard - mpc - proteus and any other instruments into the mixer and then run the mixer right into the track machine thru the hi z input............dunno if that makes sense - at any rate hit me

oh and somthin' decent - im thinking i shld be able to pull off a decent one for around $200 - $300

help me out yall...........

I just bought a mixer from sam ash the other night...
I paid like $160 total..
Its an Alesis 8fx 8usb mixer.....
Its comes with a 3 band EQ, and 100 effects its nice...
It makes my MPC1000 sound like a MPC2000 xl
