Good analog mixer for recoring?

[redrumsixsix6]

Hey my band is looking to record our first ep/demo. Right now we have a digital mixer for recording but unfortuantly, it only alows to mics to be hooked up to it cause only two out of the eight inputs is made for the frequency of mics. So we deicded to keep it simple for layering purposes, we would buy an analog mixer to hook up to the sound card of a computer. Anyway i was wondering what would be a good analog mixer to buy. We need from 7-9 inputs for mics so we can mic the drums. price range is around $100, or less of course.

also, if anyone could recomend a decent sound card

$100 or less for a 7-9 input mixer? Where are you planning on finding that? You're probably not going to find more than a 4 track mixer for that. Even Behringer 8 track mixers go for about $250.

well theres always ebay..............could easily knock 100 bucks off the price but anyway, whats a good mixer in general then, no price range

I personally really like Yamaha's mixers. I've owned 2 and have never had any problems with either. They are really user-friendly too.

Good analog mixer for home recording....

SSL has just made a console for home tracking and mixing, based on their flagship superanalogue consoles, it also works as a control surface.

I'm thinking that Behringer would be the cheapest option.
Not world class equipment, but more than suitable for budget home recordings.

And if you need say a 10 channel mixer for example, quite often you may find that it is cheaper to get two smaller mixers and hook them into each other than it is to get one bigger one.
But then again, the bigger mixers usually have handy features on them that the smaller ones do not.
So it's up to you.
