Hi all, a new guy here..been reading a lot of forums trying to decide which way to go..stand alone or computer based..whats new huh? Just wondering if anybody has used the mixer interface like roland studio or the event EZbus.. are they anygood or is a good card like Delta or MOTU a better option.. thanks..see how polite I am?

I've been reading a bunch of these forums for a while now, trying to figure out how to get a little studio set up. I am completely new at this, but I'm really excited about giving it a try...the problem is that I have no idea what I'm doing.

Session starting in a couple hours. But my monitor mixer 1604VLZpro has developed a nasty problem. It's as though there may be a cold solder or dirty connection somewhere across the mix L/R bus. The right channel goes away completely and left is very low in level. But a loud plosive sound though a mic will bring both channels back to full level.

I may be getting a Mackie 1604 mixer. Should I put my Tascam 428 into one of the input channels or one of the subgroups? Also would a mixer like this allow me to add hardware effects to my VSTis without feedback?

Thanks

hi, I am planing to buy a mixing console for my project studio. I would like to have nice mic preamps, great EQs, and nice sound qualitues around $1000. I am currently looking at soundcraft M series, yet I haven't made up my mind yet. please let me know what would be my possible choice. thanx

Still searching for the affordable durable quality mixer setup, needs to be muy portable. I need good quality mic preamps, which may not come with a mixer meeting the other criteria, so I'm looking at line mixers. The Speck looks like a class act, but way too many little awkward concentric knobs and cramped controls. Amazing routing possibilities.

I have narrowed my choice in a mixer that will be used mostly for recording and mixing drums. I am interested in the Mackie 1604 ProVlz and the Allen and Heath Mixwizard, model WZ16:2DX. I do not care too much about features, just quality. Does the Mixwizard have better preamps and EQ than the Mackie? I'm concerned about headroom, being that I will be using this for drums.

This looks promising for portable live recording work. Any experiences or opinions? I'll be tracking a lot of acoustic and jazz sources. Is this a solid make of gear/ Will it last forever? Is the sound glorious?
I appreciate any input.

Hello, Has anyone heard of or used the Audient line of consoles? FWIW, they had a nice review in Mix Mag. Thanks Danny

What would be a class mixer for live recording? Portability is key. I shopped all the budget mixers and ended up getting an Allen and Heath 14:6:2, just because I had to have a temporary solution, wanted to be able to skip the EQ, and wanted to save my money for something class. What is there that sounds great and is permanent?
