Mixing board features?

[crispycutz]

hey all,

I wanted to upgrade my workstation, as I've been tinking around with CEP for about a year...

I was thinking of probably purchasing a condenser mic...finally... I'd hate to part from my "first-mic"....

Also, I have a wireless mic system, for performances mainly...

and I was considering connecting my turntables too add that effect to my mixes....

I know that i'd need "phantom" support for most condensers.....beside that could anyone suggest some other features on a mixing board that might be important to look for in either a positive or negtive way?

I would like to use it for the dual purpose of studio recording, and as a mic-preamp/mixer for live performances.....

Any suggestions or links would be great...Thanks guys...

sorry...I thought i should do that....

The performances are of the Hip Hop genre...I generally take the session of the artists track I "enigineered" lol.. and just drop the lead vocal, leaving only the ad-libs, or voice overs....a "performance" track which makes for a good sound....

As I said, I just need the board to support a condenser mic, and to run a turntable thru for studio work...

For performances, I guess it would just have to be able to support at least two microphones (wireless) with an output going dirctly to my mixer...

I have some general knowledge of setup and connections etc.; what im concerned of is the features and aspects i dont know of, like "THD" and other important terms, not to mention an affordable price...

hope this helps..sorry for the length... thanks for any feedback..
