I have a Mackie D8B and a huge synth/sampler setup and along with returning effects and compressors I am totally out of inputs. The D8B gives me 48 ins but the instruments are all stereo so I'm maxed out. I need to find a very high quality line mixer that I can use to bring things back into the board. I don't want it to take up too many rack spaces. Somewhere between 1 and 4 would be cool. I need at least 8 additional inputs but 12 to 16 would be great! Any suggestions? Also, what would you suggest I return with it. The less significant synths or the effects or the compressors? Thanks in advance for your help. Sincerely, Robert

If it's only a line mixer that you need check [[url=http://[/URL]="http://www.behringe…"]THIS[/]="http://www.behringe…"]THIS[/] out; I know Behringer doesn't have that immaculate name, but this unit seems to be quite good considering its specs, plus it's deadly cheap! 8 stereo pairs should be what you were looking for I hope.
Other manufacturer making similar units you may want to check out are Rane (top notch quality, but pricier), Rolls (more budget stuff), and Roland.

Hope this helps

Thanks guys - the Speck looks great but the list price is almost $5000. I want great quality but I think I'm paying for features in that mixer that I don't need. If I was using it as a main mixer to bring in alot of instruments and doing my fader moves and automation stuff on the computer - which some of the big names are doing by the looks of the people they list as users of that mixer - I would go for it. But with the D8B I don't work that way. Just abit too expensive just to use as a submixer to get me a dozen or so more inputs. The Behringer - and the others mentioned - are just not my cup of tea - need better - no offense. Where is the super quality mixer for like $1000 - $2000 that will give me somewhere between 12 - 16 line inputs?
