As far as mixers go,, behringer is about the biggest bang for the buck. It has 48 volt fantom power built in. I understand the newer models also have built in effects. My 20 chanel behringer ran about $250. I don't see why you would need any amping. just plug the sound outs of the various modules to the sound ins of the mixer. Instead, get a pair of really good studio monitors(powered). As far a CD burners, why not just use the computer?
