My first analog mixing desk - suggestions?

Hi there,

I am currently looking at used recording consoles that could be used to mix down a whole band in rehearsals.

An 8 bus desk would be great, as it will be feeding into my Yamaha AW1600 for the moment. This records 8 tracks simultaneously.

A 24 track desk would be the ideal size and would offer enough inputs for what I'm looking at.

Mixing while rehearsing with your band for beginners

I just ran into this article which describes mixing while rehearsing with your band for beginners. It's a good place start. But still it doesn't solve the problem of each person in the band pushing up their levels cause 'they can't hear themselves'... :-? It's never loud enough!

Live Recording and FoH Mixing...

Hello!

I've been in and out of the forums the past two/three years trying to figure some stuff out. So far, we are back to square one.

First, let me give you all the setting. We are a church of about 350 and have pretty rocking music and dynamic services. It is our goal to get setup for TV, web streaming, CD production, etc.
