[sdiy] [OT] great little mixer?? (was: Behringer MX1804)

[Rude 66]

so buy a second hand mixer.. here in holland i've seen lots of big studio
mixers been put up for sale because the studio 'goes digital'.. there are
some nice deals out there. i've been tempted for a bigger d&r mixer than i
have now, but space is really getting a problem here as well..
