Help needed with computer and interfacing mixer

Hey

Im new to the recording scene, and am hoping to get a setup soon. Ill focus mostly on electric and acoustic, with a little vocals thrown in. Im thinking about getting a SM57 and a Behringer 6-channel mixer. Ill use either Cubase or Audacity or some comparable program. My questions are:

Digital Mixer selection for use with an Alesis HD24

Hello, I currently run an Alesis HD24 using an A&H GL2400 Mixer and am looking to go to a digital mixer. I have been looking at the Yamaha O1V96 ver 2, and the Tascam DM3200. I really like the features of the Tascam and its ability to add a meter bridge. I am trying to figure out how well the HD24 will pair up with the DM3200. Anyone here running this combination?

Mixer situation?

I currently run a Mackie onyx which i am selling and want to go with a bigger better board. It will be for a small studio so i dont need more than about 48 chan's total. I was looking into the Tascam dm 4800, a Yamaha dm2000 or any other mixer that will provide great sound, built in dsp effects and easily transfer to the cpu for a front end. Thanks.

Equipment Questions: Speakers, Amps & Mixers for DJ/PA

Background:I've fallen into the fun world of ProAudio gear. I play Guitar, Keyboards and various other intraments and a month ago bought a Mixer to dump all the sounds into before sending to the PC for recording. The PC Speakers kinda suck, they aren't loud enough for me, thus came on my next project.

Phonic Helix Board Fire Wire Mixer

New to this forum, Hi all. I have a hobby studio at home and currently record with a Boss BR-532 and I want to upgrade to a 8 to 12 channel recording system . I was looking at the Phonic Helix Board fire wire mixer board and want to know everyone's thoughts. I would like to keep my budget around $800 and need a few other things like an external fire wire hard drive.
