RE: Mixer
you'de probably be better off using mebbe some compression on perhaps the kik or snare, but tbh with digital you're better off NOT recording with compression cos you have enuff headroom and if you use compression on mix only you arent bound by the compression you adding on record, so you can adjust the amount to suit in the mix
it's probably better to record clean and straight and then mixdown thru the internal mixer on the recorder unit or thru an external hardware mixer, adding any fx & processing then.
it's really not a good idea to use FX on record cos once you do that you're stuck with those fx and if say you added reverb to the snare drum on record and it doesnt sit in the mix right when you come to mixdown there's nothing you can do about it and you are screwed

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!
