Does a mixer like this exist?

[TheWizard]

An 8 channel board, with decent pres, channel inserts, and direct outs?

I know the mackie1604vlz has 8 outs, but i really dont need all those channels.

i hope it does. If not, can anyone refer me to a similar one?

- edit:

If the mixer had channel inserts, and i used the insert with a mic pre, would that mic pre become a direct out?

If you had a 8 mic preamps, you wouldn't need the mixer. You would plug the mic into the preamp and the preamp into the recorder (interface).

that statement only applies if you are using a daw....and not all of us use them, but really look on ebay and see if you can find yourself a nice mackie 16.8....it has everything you are looking for.
