Any 2-track for mixdown? Advice needed...

I am considering buying a used 2-track for mixdown, instead of
the DAT or ITB that I do now. Will any reasonably well-maintained 2-track do the job (once aligned and cleaned, and perhaps relapped) of giving my mixes the warmth I need?
For instance, I see a lot of
Otari MX 5050 on Ebay. I could probably scratch together $1K
if I found the right machine.

Drums during playback & mixdown

I have recorded the drums. And during mixdown, I want to use the midi jack on my Triton keyboard to double the kick drum on each hit. Who else has done this?
I figure if I go from the 24 track recorder to the mixer, then to a unit something like the Roland TMC 6 (it's a Trigger to MIDI Converter). Somebody tell me this is do-able!

looking for a mixer to use in daw mixdowns

hello everyone, i've been trying to mixdown in daw software for years now, and i hate it. completely. in the next year or so i would like to get a mixer that i can use to apply eq and mixdown using contols that i am comfortable with. i really don't care to learn any control surfaces, so i'm not really considering one for this purpose.
