new to recording need help

[justdave]

what's up folks? I'm a drummer that is starting a new group and since I have the ability, I'm going to equip these clowns, me included, with some junk. Need your input. Thinking powered 20 channel mixer board for all input. Will this work to run pods into for practice time without setting up cabs and everything? Is this setup feasible for home studio practice and traveling PA? Also, bang for the buck what boards are the best. The main thing is we want to practice time for practicing not setting up and tearing down so that's why the powered board. Also, is there a powered board/recording station out there for under 2000. Thanks.
