Audio mixer suggestion - 4 mics to a single stereo track?
I'm wanting to do some cheap, at-home drum recordings for videos. I want to run 3 or 4 dynamic microphones through a small mixer and hook it up to my PC. I plan on using a program like Mixcraft 5 or Adobe Soundbooth to record it all. Alright so I need a mixer with about 4 mic inputs (XLR, 1/4" or even 1/8") and that will mix it all down to a single stereo (or mono, if necessary) track. This is the one I was looking at

Will that get the job done? I read that that one only outputs mono though. Any suggestions or mixer advice?
Thanks in advance!
My personal suggestion: Skip the mixer entirely. Find a cheap audio interface that has at least 4 channels. That way you can bring in the tracks and edit them all individually. You also might think about getting one or two condensers for overheads. Condenser microphones pick up high frequencies slightly better and also have a better transient response than dynamics. You should stick to XLR cabling for microphones.
