Bryan, What you want is a mixer with per channel direct outs. I believe Behringer has an 8 channel with direct outs for $250 US. You can buy a cheap Behringer two channel mixer and pan the outputs from each track full left and right and then use the L/R outputs as input to two of your channels. I actually have one of these little $60 wonders around and that works fine. I also recently bought an Art TPS (Tube Preamp System). This is a two channel tube mic/instrument preamp. It cost $180 US and I use it with my condenser mics to warm things up a bit. I also use it live for my vocals and harp. It's not the greatest but it's not bad.
