I have been a long time Mackie user....but this is the mixer, that I would not trade for any Mackie...Edirol M-10DX..
Here are examples of why I use the Edirol...Same singer

..same G70

and same Samson Q7 mic....The recordings were made a day apart, as I was not trying to make this comparison ..it does show the Edirol..works...
I used a different instrumentation, because this was my project at the time...All were recorded on a Tascam DR-07...
Here is the link ..
PS: disregard my vocals..I am no Donny or Uncle Dave..
