Best mixer?

[guitarguy101]

I've built up my studio to a good bit, and I've decided I want a mixing board. What is the best one for under $200 that can be used in conjunction with Cubase, Garageband, and Audacity? I'll be using it with a Tascam US 600 interface, 2 shure sm-57s, and 2 MXL condensers.

Well, I'm not really sure what you would use the mixer for, so I'm not sure what kind to recommend.
The Alesis Multimix USB 2.0 series of mixers are interfaces as well.

I've just got a behringer mixer. I bought it because I thought it would be great for recording drums back when I was recording into something that had only two mic inputs. Stereo outputs for recording ended up being pretty useless for me.
I was planning to toss it a few months ago BUT I have found a purpose for it .
I run it via RCA into my monitors so I don't have to turn on my interface or computer or power conditioner or open my DAW and blah blah blah to make some guitar or bass tones. Since I've sold my guitar and bass cabs and just use iso cabs, I can also run the iso cabs into it and through my monitors if I ever have to jam with someone. Oh and I've got the outputs of it going into two of the line inputs on my US-1800 just in case I ever want to record jamming or checking tones or whatever.

The best mixer for under $200 does not exist. A mixer at this price will add nothing to the recording quality, so you would do best to plug in direct into your audio interface when recording. Honestly!
