Why a mixer and not a 4 or 8 in/out mic pre interface?

Re: Help with some ideas.
Knowing full well that I will get flamed for this, but I have a Behringer UB1222FXPRO Mixer and I am very happy with it.
I actually have a smaller Behringer that I have used for many years in my recordings, but I wanted to start recording drums and needed a bigger board, and this does the trick. One of the features I like is the mute swtich for each channel, a seemingly simple feature for some reason not found on lower priced boards (handy for setting levels)
I have also used this board extensively for live performances all summer and it has held up extremely well - no problems at all.

Well, depending on what software you're running you will have a software mixer most likely. So I assume this is to be able to track 4 mics at once? If that is the case a mic pre audio interface like an M-Audio, Presonus, Mackie Onyx etc. would let you record 4 sources at once. To use an external mixer just to get sound into the box would not be my first choice because I think there is more bang for the buck in some other units.

You should be able to get this for under 400.00. You'll need a Firewire card or port in your computer cards are cheap though. That's just one option - I like the M-Audio stuff for the price performance ratio and I know a very heavy hitter producer that uses the M-Audio 410 on his laptop when he tracks on the go.
