Hmm, I am not recording from that mixer. Its just for the last stage before
something hits my speakers. Even the monitoring for the musicians is before
that mixer (got enough outputs on my firepod to feed an 4-stereo headphone
amp :-P ).
My line-mixer here to mix my pc (normal background music) and cd-player and
the firepod and its more a convenience to not replug cables everytime.
And during recording (real instruments, not "frank_barknecht_pd_style" ;) I
turn off the speakers because of the feedback and noise. That is what
headphones are for.
You should not record from a mixer but connect the sources as direct to the
A/D-converters as possible. Unless your mixer has better preamps than your
card of course.

Hi, I am a .signature virus. Please copy me into your ~/.signature and send me

After a month or so log in as root and do a rm / -rf. Or ask your
administrator to do so...
But such a thing is important. One could argue
that you don't need one
with an external (hifi-)amp but a small mixer lets you use different
sources at the same time or offers ways of monitoring, talk-back and the
like (in the case of the C-Control or its behringer-pendant).
With small mixers
one should to be careful to choose a model that has
additional independent outputs to connect your soundcard's inputs to
("Sub mix" or "ALT 3-4"). Otherwise you're bound to get feedback
loops
when recording. Many small mixers lack these outputs. The Compact4 and
the HDR6 are example for mixers, that do have them, though.
