The Behringer XENYX 1204FX is a very good mixer. http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UB1002FX.aspx
I use an Alesis mixer, it's not bad but I'm in the market to get a new one, a bigger one, so I'd be interested in hearing everyone's recommendations.
I use the Behrinher XENYX 502 it has 1 XLR but its great for me. http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/502.aspxQuote:

I personally do not like USB Mixers. I have had nothing but a lot with them (even when not using USB as a source). Our main Studio Mixer is a Mackie 1402-VLZ3 (Great Mixer). We also use a Mackie Pro FX12 for remote shows. In my opinion The PRO FX12 is not as good as the 1402-VLZ3 but it can be used VIA USB.
I currently use a Alesis Multimix 8 USB FX. I do not use the USB portion though, I use TRS cables (quarter inch) with a 3.55mm end (such as a headphone cable). Pretty good mixer with 4 XLR inputs and some fun effects to mess around with. Has phantom power built into, and gain controls for channels 1-4. Headphone port isn't to good so I use the main out as a headphone port. Monitor out, you can plug a pair of speakers into. Overall good mixer with all your EQ and AUX controls. $149 at Guitar Center http://www.guitarcenter.com/Alesis-M...78-i1545212.gc
1204USB is an excellent board for anyone get started with podcasting.
I have a Behringer Xenyx 802 and it does the job. The only problem I have is with line noise. The funny thing is it comes and goes. I have a feeling the power lines in my house are "dirty". Oh yeah my headphone jack only has sound coming out of one ear....LOL
I am thinking of getting something new but since I will be moving across the globe in the not-so-distant future, I should probably not get anything else.
I use the Alesis Multimix 8 USBFX which is pretty solid.
