Need Mixer advice (Digital vs. Analog)

[PTMMUSIC]

I have Pro Tools but want the control of a mixer.

I currently have that Fostex VM200 digital mixer but it is awkward in shape and takes up space in depth as opposed to width like a typical mixers. Which my console can work with.

So I'm selling it with the HD recorder companion VR800!

Should I stick to a digital mixer? or go Analog?

looking to spend between $200. - $400. on either....

Need advice really bad and soon got a buyer already!

Please somebody out there HELP ME!!!!!

How many channels do you need? For $400 your choices will be pretty limited. Can you even get a digital mixer that cheap?

I have a Roland VM3100Pro and so far I like it. I'm not a big fan of sharing faders on different channels but that is the price you pay for the small footprint of the digital mixers.

You can get the Tascam TM 1000 on ebay for $400, its a digital 16 channel.

Well I really have been more interested in an analog mixer for the purpose of instruments, mics and other 1/4" equipment. But thought I might have to go digital cause i'm running ProTools.

Is this true? Hope not I much rather use an analog mixer.
