mixer for editing?

[moviemaker999]

Can anyone enlighten me on why I should have a mixer in my editing room

to have multiple ins and outs with varying levels.
I have 4 ins from a beta deck, 2 ins from a dvd player and an input for voice overs... the booth is just next door.
Then I have 4 outs for the avid. It all goes though the mixer.
