Need advice on analog/digital mixers

[mono]

I need a mixer/controller combo that lets me control cubase but also offers analog mixing, so i can send groups through it in a final mixing stage. a preamp would be nice too. I'm not sure whether it should be an all-in-one device or seperate gear for every task. any suggestions ?
thanks&peace

Get a Yamaha whatever you do. They have the best Cubase intergration.

That n12 looks nice.
