What weaknesses have you found that you are finding to be a problem?

The main problem is the lack of inserts. I am using it to record the jazz
groups I play in. I have been able to use the Aux sends and one of the direct
outs to create 3 outputs from my mics. The problem is that I have 5 mics and
plan to buy more. I thought about the possibility of purchasing a mic preamp
like the ones made by sm pro audio but decided getting a decent used mixer
would be more cost effective. Also I figured I could not only use the mixer
for preamps but also to do my mix because it will probably be better than my
Behringer.
usually a good companion to an Adat would be the mackie 1602 (even an
original). it gives you 8 mic pres (you can buy and expander with 8
more) and i think at least 8 channels with inserts and it gives you the
ability to have the record sends and returns hardwired (not inline
though) lots of efx sends and returns and 4 busses. the next version
gives you the better pre amps and a more complete monitor section.
Theres another version called the 1642 i think or somethng like that.
anyway 16 channels ives you plenty to mix with.
