please check out this digital mixer Presonus Studiolive 1602, it has a 8 xlr input and 4 stereo input,the great thing about the Presonus StudioLive mixers is all you need is a firewire cable anda firewire (1394 slot) input on your pc and you're in for a MULTI-TRACK digital recording, i would recomend Ableton Live 8 for a recording software...
