i would recomend you the 01v... which is like a devoleped concept of the ProMix. has dinamics for All channels, good Fx, full 4 band parametric EQ, Great i/o options, have different mixes for monitoring (rec mode), and lots of etcs. at a Very reasonable price. Mackie 1604 is almost a mistake. Expensive and fairly useless, compared to Digital desks. If you want to go analogue without compromising your future, you must be ready to spend ALOT more that just a 1604. Small Mackies are good for they pre-amps, nothing that cannot be covered with some outboard pre (you can even go valve for a fraction of the price). One thing... trust your ears and your budget... Go digital, mate.
