I believe it has a built in preamp, but would I still want to know should I consider a mixer or can I just plug the line outs of the turntable to the MPC directly? Help plz.
Point of the mixer = More control over the EQ's before it hits the MPC. It's amazing what you can boost or remove from records with a good mixer like a TTM-56. It'll boost or cut far better than the MPC can.
