don't know your budget but if you don't have much $$$ (like me), i'm in the same boat - searched some reviews on Soundonsound.com and decided to go for the Mackie, the 1402 VLZ Pro looks good value, they're renouned for their low S/N ratio and great sound quality, or the more expensive Onyx series have better all-new components and better EQ's allegedly, i can't wait to get one of these badboys - just make sure you get good powered monitors too!

I bought a Mackie 1604VLZ Pro which was my first mixing board. I'm not dissapointed with it by any means.

that's the one the Prodigy started with (or the earlier model)

Liam said that mixer gave them a distinct sound, i was sold on that

My mixer is also the 1604VLZpro. Nice little mixer that does what it has to do.
