You can find them used for about half the price of a new one. Youll have money left over for some nice cables, and a couple of Mc D's combo meals

no ... i wouldn't play around and get a small Mackie - i got a brand new 1604 pro for 500 $ on ebay.com - keep searching and u should find a 1202 pro or 1402 pro for your small budget.

and don't worry about the few more channels - you will need them, perhaps not today :wink:

If your gonna spend over $500 you should look into something like the Mackie Onyx series..


The Onyx 1220, 1620 and 1640 start with Mackie?s new Onyx mic preamps, which meet or surpass any standalone mic preamp on the market in terms of pure fidelity and head-room (and yes, we have the specs to prove it). Next up is our completely new Perkins EQ circuitry, a ?neo classic? 3- and 4-band design which gives you the sweet musicality of British EQ with greater filter control and minimum phase shift (plus a true hardware EQ bypass). This analog brilliance is paired with a full-featured discrete Auxiliary section, a completely redesigned mix bus and summing amp section, and a built-in Talkback section with onboard mic.

Features:

Premium 12-channel small-format analog mixer with all-new circuitry
4 new ONYX mic preamps with sound comparable to boutique preamps
New 3-band Perkins EQ with sweepable mids
96K FireWire option for streaming 14 independent channels of audio to computer with zero latency input monitoring through mixer
2 channels of monitoring from computer via FireWire option card
2 Aux sends w/ Pre/Post switches
4 stereo line-level inputs
Built-in Talkback section for use with internal or external mic
True hardware EQ Bypass
"Planet-Earth" ± power supply
Individual 48v Phantom Power switches on all mic inputs
Linear taper 60mm faders with ultra-smooth response on all channels
Balanced direct outs for every channel via DB-25 connection
Selectable instrument inputs on first two channels.no DI box needed

I got a Yamaha mg16/6fx it cost me £200 so may be cheaper in the U.S it does the job for now and has plenty of channels plus 8 mic channels. The fx are ok just simple reverbs, echo, room, chorus a good quality mixer for the price. Good start for a small studio setup. It will do me until I can get some money together for a mackie anyhow.

Check it out

Ok I'm confuse about the 8 outs let's say i'm using all 64 pads how do I decides what goes through the stereo outs vs the 8outs

By kallback Fri Dec 10, 2004 4:31 pm
Kaneaudio, im using the separate outs to apply different outboard efx and eq settings to individual MP sounds. and/or for multichannel recordings to my computer. - its all up to you how to use them.
