I recently discovered this mixer and it blows me away reading the manual and stuff. It would make a great mixer for both live and in the studio. 16 channels straight to a computer through firewire, oh man I would love to record live shows like that. Ultimately I think this is what I'm saving up for. Does anyone dislike this mixer or have any comments on it?

What are the differences between the two?

Hello,

I bought yesterday a NEW preamp 6176, not second hand!

But there was somthing inside that was making noise when I was moving it like a screw or something like that.

I wanted to be sure and then I opened the box.

First I found the stuff inside, a 2mm piece of metal but I don't know what it is :

Hey,any recomanded Preamp for Acoustic Guitar instead of Pick up..no volume control and EQ.

What i know and trusted is Fishman...

Any other Brands?

Have you ever used a Cordial cable and/or Neutrik connectors? They're about the only "professional" cables/connectors I can get here in Romania.

Also, I plan to do my own soldering. Do you know what sort of solder should I use? I've heard that ideally it should contain some silver and less lead then usual solder stuff.

Any opinions?...

After lots and lots of research, i believe ive come to my conclusions and have pieced together what i think is a great machine to use for pro tools le. i think ive done pretty well, but i know that there are many more people out there who are much more knowledgable than myself and have much more experience. so please review, critique, modify, or give me the thumbs up on this system!

If those two mixer in the same used price $1250, which one you will buy? Which one is good for recording through the mixer?
Sound Quality? Is Soundcraft Clean?Thanks

Hi everyone,

I've been using Shure SM57's on toms, many different kits, many different players, and no matter what I can't get a good tom sound.

I know my room and pres play a big part, but I recently stopped using the 57 on snare and now use the Sennheiser E609 and get the sound I want. I'm thinking that it's more so the mic and less of the other factors.

Now...

After reading up on 24-bit recording, I became compelled to re-record my old 4-track cassettes from when I first started with recording, and a few albums I bought on cassette into digital. I recorded them before onto my desktop computer's built in Avance97 audio card, in 16/44.1, but I could tell a noticeable difference between the .wav file and the source tape.
