Im having trouble deciding which mixer to get its a choice between the yamaha mw10c usb mixing studio or the alesis multi mix 8 usb fx.Im recording live drums,keys,vocals,etc in cubase.which mixer should i choose.
 
Personally, I think you may be better off going with a recording interface rather than a recording mixer. Some recording mixers offer you zero outputs so you don't have the ability to monitor your mixes. Also they may only be able to record a stereo pair of inputs at a time. I am not 100% sure because I don't use a recording mixer but people have told me about not having the ability to use all 8 inputs at once.

I think that you should check out the Tascam US series. Particurarly the Tascam US-800. It is optimized for mobile recording and works great with a laptop. It has 6 Mic/Line inputs and will probably give you a better start to your recording live. Plus it comes with Cubase LE4.

B&H are unloading these for 100 bucks free shipping :-)

I've noticed you have really been promoting Tascam haha. Your promoting more than Jimmy! :eek:
 
Lol. I guess I am. The sad part is, I don't own anything Tascam except a US-428. And I don't even use it.
