I was considering buying a mixer for my home recording studio. What I would prefer is a mixer that would last me a couple of years, so I don't end up upgrading. My budget for mixers is around $200 and under, but if I really have to, $300. I'm new to mixers so I don't know if 200 dollars is enough to buy a good mixer.
Thanks

Yes, I know this has been asked a billion times before, and I HAVE done my research reading many posts, but I want to ask again (it's not because I'm annoying):

If you think this is a stupid question, then I'm sorry for not knowing and just getting into recording.
But I just wanted to know what the difference was. I already have an audio interface (Lexicon Lambda) but I'm thinking about getting an audio mixer, but aren't they the same thing? Or what...
Thanks

Hello RECORDING forum people !

My father is looking for a good USB or Firewire Mixer Audio Interface and a good set of speakers for his keyboard. He will probably be using it as a home studio but also for live playing.

Nvm

I'm in a band (surprise!) and we're looking to record our first demos. No awards for guessing, we need the mixer and mics dirt cheap!

I am the drummer, and I'm completely new to recording above what we've been doing so far, a guitar hero mic which just goes to USB. It's not great.

The Equipment i am currently using is

Behringer Xenyx 1002 Mixer

CAD PRO-7 7-Piece Drum Microphone Pack

Alright got no idea how to use this thing lol no one told me how just said with my MXL 990 mic that i'd need a channel mixer or preamp, couldnt afford the amp so I got the mixer and don't know how to properly use it or set it up. can someone help me or make me understand it better? I'm working with Audcaity as my recording software until I can get my adobe products back.

I have sound coming out from outputs 1 and 2 from my Hercules DJ Console RMX I have already tested the output sound and know that it is working correctly.

I used the two 1/4" aux outputs, each one to a channel on the mixer.

When the sound is playing through the mixer with both channel volumes up, the bass sound is completely cut!

Hey,

I admit, I'm not fully up to snuff with it all yet. I'm still trying to understand what I should keep from the old days and what I should be adding.

My DAW setup is getting close to operation. Its not an easy process working this site, having a family and another job all at the same time, but I'm getting there, crawling or not!
