Xenyx 1204USB : Premium ultralow noise, high headroom analog mixer

A great small-venue mixer that does double duty in home studios.

I have used this board on a daily basis for about a year now and have had NO PROBLEMS with it. It has been through live stage productions as well, all channels, 4 phantom powered mics with pretty heavy amp up and it performed exceptionally well. The effect processing is cool and the alt 3-4 is very useful(for those that don't know what alt 3-4 is, it is an output that comes from your muted tracks). Aux 1 has pre OR post fader settings, very useful. Some things I would like to see: USB volume control(available on more expensive models), gain for stereo tracks, control room unity setting, off switch for effect processor(constant orange glow even when i'm not using the effects).
