What mixer to get ??

Hello i'm new in recording and I need a mixer that has 6 inputs, headphones jack, stereo line out, control L/R, stereo playback input.

What are recording to?

I didn't understand your question but if I got it right so I'm lucky I'm using it for now for home recording but maybe in the short future with a band ....

What I mean. Do you plan on recording to a computer or an ADAT or even a reel to reel tape machine?
If you plan on multi-track recording with a computer you really don’t need a mixer.

If you also plan on using the mixer for a band situation or even recording purposes you are going to feel the limitations of a small mixer real fast. You might want to go with something like a Mackie http://mackie.com/products/vlz3series/splash.html
Or even Behringer

Personally for live sound even with a bar band I would go for a 16 channel, 12 at the very least.

For now Im going to use for recording to computer and to play the guitar with a soundtrack in my PC with headphones so that my parents wont get mad at me ...

but maybe in the future I'm going to use in for a band ...

what your suggestion ?

there is a small mixer from tapco/mackie blend6 with 6 line in, phantom power, 2 fx stereo loops, monitor etc.

i use it to feed the line6 guitar port with processed guitar, synths, drums etc. before routing to the pc via usb.

the pc soundcard is for output only and returns into the mixer also. the mixer runs with two mackie monitors and also has a powerful headphone amp.

the setup is perfect for low level recordings - and runs perfect for the budget. take a look here:
