I use this one too. It is compact with effects, just the right size for my gigs.

I would never use that Yamaha for studio or live.. Not that it's not ok, b ut there are way better mixers now days.
Bachus I wouldn't consider LS9 comparing to the new mixers these days.
Basically you have few really good choices here. Alen&Heath QU16, Soundcraft Si Expression, Behringer X32(producer or Compact) if you don't need that many channels.There is also Presonus Studiolive but the other three are much better mixers right now.
I personally have X32 Producer and I love the way it sounds. Maybe the best sounding one out of these three is Q16 if you want it for live. But, X32 has way better routing inside. Basically you can route anything anywhere. It has great effects too. You will not make a mistake whichever one you choose.It all depends on your needs.

My problem with Behringer is mechanical build quallity, i have had bad experiences with the brand in the past, But then any company has the right to improve its products. How is the build quallity of the X32? If so, the compact edition would also fit. I would never use that Yamaha for studio or live.. Not that it's not ok, b ut there are way better mixers now days.

If you can try any of these mixers try them.There is always a learning curve.But, digital mixers are way to go now days. There is really no need for analog mixers anymore. Especially at this price.

Thanks for the headsup, currently also looking into the X32 rack, which has no mechanical sliders or knobs, but is fully software controlled, which would not be a problem for me... I could automate everything from my DAW, which is allways in my setup... And it costs about half the money of the other above 2 options... My needs are rather static.. And this seems like a very costefficient solution..

I've had three Behringer mixers in the past. The two larger ones were great and are still in use by people to whom I sold them, after quite a few years. I had a little small one, I think 5 channel, that was fine except the power supply cable didn't hold up. Considering the mixer cost somewhat less than $100., it wasn't worth repairing or replacing to me, so I gave it to a guy who needed it. He ordered a new cable for it.
I wouldn't be afraid to buy another Behringer.
I have a friend that owns a local music store and he quit carrying them. He said he got too many in for repair, and he had to deal with getting them replaced, but I really think there just wasn't enough profit margin in it for him, when competing with internet stores.
