Hi All,
this is my first post in this forum, I'm looking for advices on a low budget mixer. I tried to dig around but maybe not enough, so sorry in advance if I'm going to ask information already spread somewhere else in the forum.
We are a bunch of friends playing and jamming together (calling ourselves a band seems a bit ambitious at the moment), and we would like to move to headphone mode to try and practise more easily even at home/flat.
I'm the loud one, the drummer, but I own both an acoustic kit and a nice Roland td9kx2, so what we need really is just an affordable mixer to play around.
I'm absolutely noob with mixing, so please forgive me if anything I say doesn't quite make sense, but let me know and I'll try to learn and understand a bit more.
That's what I would like to be able to have:
Analog or digital, no idea, I guess the recording feature is available on digital mixers, and I like the idea to record my settings, but I understand that for low budget I may get lower quality with perceivable delays (or not? you can tell me maybe).
A friend of mine owns an iMultiMix 8 USB
He used it just with a keyboard, never used other inputs, so not sure it's a complete and reliable review. Ideally price and recording feature would be ok, but it is discontinued, which scares me a bit, and I'm not actually sure I'll be able to find it anywhere (assuming it's a good option).
That's pretty much all the information I can give you, if you need to know anything else please ask me.

That's what I would like to be able to have:
- instruments to plug in: edrums, bass guitar, 2 guitars, keyboard, 2mics
- I'd love to be able to easily record to usb or ipod
- Input from usb as well for playing along with tracks
- budget: < £250
