Hey guys,
I'm looking for a 8-16 channel mixer to do some home-recording on PC. It looks like some of the new mixers coming out also function as an audio interface for doing two jobs in one, which is awesome. But how efficient are these? I was looking at the Allen & Heath ZED14 (http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com..ole?sku=630271) and it looks pretty good w/ phantom power, preamp, comes with Sonar LE, hooks up via USB, etc. There's also the Alesis Multimix 8 USB 2.0 (http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com..xer?sku=801473) mixer that comes with Cubase. I don't need too many channels, just want something that sounds good and will last. And something that will hook up easily to my computer. I'll mostly be Micing stuff and doing the effects in post, so on-board effects aren't completely necessary.

Which mixer do you think would work better? Also, what about the Behringer Xenyx or the Yamaha MG166C? Any good? Any help is much appreciated - Thanks!
