Mixing in the box is something I will do. Especially for finishing stuff. But I have this idea that a small quality mixer will really help me with getting recording, and do it more often and with less hassle. Maybe I'm beeing naive. Staring at a computer screen is something I'd like to leave for finishing demos (or gather tracks to be sent to a pro. mixer)
The internet (google) has become such a impenetrable advertising machine. The word "review" has lost it's meaning. I doubt all professionals recommendations (fake news). Only demanding users that spend their hard earned money on gear can be trusted.

Are you planning on recording onto a computer? If so, you will have your DAW up and running on the screen anyway so I don't quite understand what the benefit will be to have a hands-on analog mixer during recording (you basically just need to set the gain for your preamps and the level for your line level inputs and that can be done with basically any audio interface.
