Recommendation for a USB/Firewire Mixer

[charly74]

Hy
I'm looking for a Mixer who can route all the channel and not only send the main mix output to the computer!
Price Range is 500$!
I just look into the following Mixers;
Allen& Heath ZED60 10FX
Mackie Onyx 820i
Behringer UFX1204
Which one can you recommend or is there another better Device?

Which one can you recommend or is there another better Device?

Depends on what you want the mixer for. If you're mixing an entire band at once for a live application and want to record the performance, then you should use the mixer. If you want to use it to record at home, one or two people, then an interface would be better. It is better to track raw and then mix in your daw.

I don't know much about mixers, but out of your list, I'd choose the Allen & Heath because I remember hearing/reading that they are better in quality than the other two brands listed.

I want to Live mixing with two Mics and 2-3 Instruments!
Another option is a interface with a Controller like the Nektar Panorama P1

Mixing, or tracking?

Do you know what "mixing" means?
