A question for the net experts in this sort of thing?  We find
ourselves in need a mixer for audio recording.  Nothing fancy, but
nothing standard either.  We could go to a certain retail electronics
store and pay their "You can't go anywhere else" prices, but why?
Therefore, I (not an engineer) am writing to the experts for their
wisdom on this subject.

I may be wrong, but I figure that a 6 in/2 out (3 stereo/1 out) mixer
can't be that difficult (in theory) to build.  Is it?  What would we
need in terms of basic parts?  (Obviously we would need 6 pots, 14 .25" jacks),
What about the problem of signal degradation?  How do we overcome the problem
of squeezing six inputs into two?  

Now let's get fancy.  What would it take to add reverb?  Is this even
feasable? 

If anyone has any answers/schematics they'd like to provide, we'd be 
very grateful.

Many thanks.
