I don't blame you for holding off on the G5. So far I've heard nothing but good about them, still I think I'll give it a bit more time before jumping in! Yes, you will be able to connect a mixer into the 828. If I'm not mistaken the 828 will allow for 8 chanels. Of cource you will need to choose a program that will also handle the 8 chanels (should mention something about 8 bus capability). You may want to also concider getting a multi bus mixer, so that you can utilize the full cababilities of you setup. That is if you plan on recording up to 8 tracks at a time (simultainiously), if not it won't matter. The G4 you speek of should exceed any expectations you may have, coupled with the 1 gb ram there should be few road blocks (if any).
