Digital Mixing board recommendations?

Just a thought, but why do you need a mixer at all? Logic Express has a (virtual) hardware mixer built in. Get your self a multi i/o audio interface (which you'll need anyway, even with the hardware digital mixer), perhaps a control surface, and you're done.

Just curious as to why you need a mixer in the first place?

I've had Logic Express 7 for about a year. I've been
using my 4-track as a mixing board up till this
point. My 4-track just got stolen so I want to
replace it with a digital board that I can use to
record multiple tracks independently and then mix
them after I have recorded them. I don't need a lot
of tracks, just some options. I want to make sure
that the board I get is compatible with the computer
and logic express and that I can plug it in and go,
or, do I need other stuff too? I don't really want
to spend a ton either.... and suggestions?

Hi,
Well...for a good quality mixing board that is digital,you're looking to spend a few grand.There are some options which I have used before with sucess,like the Tascam DM-24,now not in production,which can run you about 1,500 USD for a used one.Also you can check out products by Yamaha as well,they are good too.
It seems though,that if you are only planning to do 4-8 channels of simultaneous recording (recoring-at-one-time) you can get away with using a multichannel audio interface,and mixing all "inside-the-box" i.e. in the computer itself.Logic is quite good at that.
Here's a rough demo of mine done completely in Logic Pro,and even exported using Logic's mp3 encoder:

I have an Alesis Multimix Firewire 12 that works with garage band just fine. I am not enough of an expert in LE to say that it definitely works or doesn't.

It has 12 audio inputs and a firewire 400 interface. Each of the inputs is recorded to a separate channel in GB.

The price was about $350 a few months ago.

You can monitor right off the mixer if latency is a problem with your system. Also, it can function as a standalone analog mixer, if you don't plug in the firewire. It has 4 XLR inputs with preamps and 8 phono jacks.

I like it and recommend it.
