I need to tap the experienced audio pros here to try to find the right
mixer for my application:

I am rebuilding a small-ish TV studio. Here are the general
requirements for a new audio board:

INPUTS
8 inputs for mics (mono)

At least 12 STEREO inputs for VTR, Patch 1, Patch 2, Patch 3, Clip 1,
Clip 2, CD, Cassette, Turntable, DigiCart, Remote, etc. Here's the
rub: I'd LOVE these to each be on a single fader, rather than a pair.
I hope I don't have to get a custom modular mixer.

1 Additional line input for telephone hybrid.

All inputs should have a rough level set / trim

OUTPUTS/ROUTING
Usual program outputs, post master fader.

Control room outputs with their own level control

Send mix-minus to studio amp/speakers (everything but mics, so talent
can hear clips and live feeds)

Mix-minus for phone hybrid (to send everything back down the phone
line except the caller audio)

At least one send for EFX.

Another send would be great for IFB (interruptable foldback, to send a
reporter in the field a phone-line signal of eveything except
themselves - the satellite delays and causes an echo for the reporter)

Direct channel outs not necessary, but patch in/out points would be
useful.

No real issue on digital vs. analog, but digital ability to recall
snapshots would be nice.

Price as low as possible. I've checked the usual offerings in music
catalogs, but nothing quite does it.

OK: What's out there? Specifics would be nice.
