man, maybe it's me but, except the bcr2000, i always had not positive experiences with beheringer products (mics and preamps above all).
saying this, i don't know this interface.
other interfaces for cheap, according on how many ins/outs you need, are m-audio fast track pro, ni komplete and the edirols (don't have a model in mind at the moment)...
i have the fast track pro and the komplete, so feel free to ask
they both haven't fx (no compression and such)
you could had compression on software

I've had two of this exact model and they both lost a channel or started making crackling noises within days.

My buddy runs a live-sound/stage production company and he had a Berhinger for his "small club" rig... within a matter of weeks the EQ managed to stop working and the phantom power supply completely crapped out.
If you're looking for cheap recording... I'd browse eBay for a Steinberg CI1 interface. I picked mine up for $40 shipped. It ain't the best but I promise it will be far better (at least less of a headache) than the Xenyx you posted.

cool thanks, I will investigate the Steinberg CI1 interface & fast track pro.
I think if i can find one of those budget tascams I might get one of those too, for the mic pres and whatever, I dont need FX with the interface. I might need a DBX or something tho, that would be cool
