Regarding the website of a music dealer, the mixer has got 8 microphone channels with build in dbx limiters/compressors. For a ninth microphone you anyway need an external pre-amp, so there would be no disadvantage when simply connecting in series, the limiter/compressor before the gain potentiometer instead of inserting it behind. This is a EUR 879,- mixer with 22 channel USB Interface (? 24 channels ?) http://www.thomann.de/gb/soundcraft_signature22mtk.htm and with 2 channel USB Interface EUR 711,- http://www.thomann.de/gb/soundcraft_signature22.htm If 8 microphone channels with dbx limiters/compressors aren't enough, or the build in limiters/compressors are not good enough, then most likely a more expensive mixer is needed anyway. IMO it's a good idea to drop the inserts, to safe space and or money.
