i do sound for a local jamband here in illinois
just the basic setup i use to tape them is a Behringer Eurorack MX802A mixer
it is an 8 channel mixer, i mix guitar-bass-mics on drums-feed from keyboards- and a feed from the p.a. system
this works pretty good for the budget we had at the time
i am getting ready to upgrade the mixer to something with a digi-output for the laptop setup i am throwing together now
