 Has anybody here know of a rack mixer (around 8 channels) with individual
 aux sends per channel? I am working with delay loops which will require
 me to bring back different channels of processed sound back to another
 channel + send only portion of these to other channels (+ place other
 FXs) before a final cut. I guess this is along the lines of work similar
 to David Torn and others.

I recently found an old-ish rack mixer from Kawai. It has 8 Stereo (yay!) 
inputs, each of the 8 channels have two aux sends, one of which is 
actually a 
stereo send (yay!). The first two stereo channels will handle a mic level, 
too. It has balanced outputs L/R  +4/-10 dB  switchable, and an extra pair 
of 
1/4" outs. There's also additional stereo FX returns but without faders.  
Only 2 rack spaces!!  It is pretty darn quiet.   Got it cheap used at a 
store 
 $100. 

sorry don't remember the model num. - Write me at <Echopark99@aol.com>  
and I 
can check at home if you like!  Beware - there is a cheaper Kawai  8 
keyboard 
mixer that isn't as nice.  mine has sliding pot faders instead of knobs. 
The 
only thing  I miss is a simple EQ - hi & lo for each channel.

Also for 2 space mixers the Alesis looks nice it has aux sends and I think 
hi 
& lo eq. somewhere around $300?  There is also a Samson with rotary knob 
faders, haven't  heard it...
