Outboard mixer?

Hey guys. I do all my recording through a crappy little M-Audio mobile-pre. Well, my mom bought me a 4 channel mixer for christmas. This is nice, but I'm wondering if I really need it since I basically do all my EQing on my DAW with Adobe Audition. Right now, the only benefit I can see to having it is that it has 4 mic inputs, which would be nice to have when I need to record some drums.

recording to miniDV through a Behringer UB1002 audio mixer

I am trying to record audio through a mic to my computer via the mixer (Behringer UB1002), but I can't figure out how to route it through the mixer to record...or my other option was to record to a miniDV deck. I attempted to record audio only to the deck but nothing plays back. Do I think I have the wiring correct. Need advice on the best way to record sound.
