Got an old reel to reel, it has limited mixer functions so I need an analog mixer reccomendation.

At the most I record is 4 mics at once, usually just two at a time though then overdub. The tape has the ability to overdub, it's a 4-track.

Anyway, I need a quality mixer with the following abilities:

1) Record rythm track on channels 1 and 2 with outboard send/return to reverb effects unit. (Lexicon PCM70). Recording reverb with live track.

2) Return the previously recorded rythm track and monitor it while I lay down a lead line. The rythm track should NOT be re-recorded with the lead track. It need to be monitored separtely, but still hear it with my live lead track.

3) Quality transparent sound. I don't need preamps on the mixer, but if it has them no problem.

4) BALANCED +4 db outs for the stereo mix.

5) At least 4 XLR mic ins.


I looked at the Yamaha MG10/2, but it seems I cannot use an outboard reverb unit AND monitor a previously recorded track at the same time since it only has one stereo aux bus?

I'm sure this is just a simple answer, but I'm pretty ignorant on mixers. The tape recorder only has 2 XLR ins 2 XLR outs. It has RCA outs but they are staticy, otherwise I would use them for my monitoring, but I'm not an electrician and I don't wanna mess with it. The mixer would give me the ability to have outboard effects as stated which is what I want.
