what you want it for? for monitoring in the studio? perhaps live situation?

 

[Jind]

I was thinking the same thing SlipkyesBass was. What do you want the mixer for? Studio? Live? Do you need one with good pres or do you already have a good preamp and all it is for is mixing inputs? Do you already have an interface to your DAW or would you like Firewire/USB connectivity?

These types of questions answers will probably help others guide you towards a useful suggestion.

I myself simply needed a mixer to use as a monitoring mixer - I have several devices all going into my monitors and a Behringer Xenyx 802 fit the bill for my simple needs.

 

[Reuben_REVOKATION]

Il be using it for tracking guitars, to my computer,
im a bit of a newb, so if y'all have anymore advice that would be appreciated.

cheers

been looking at the Tapco mix 60 and 100, looks great, also been looking at a couple of behringers, mostly the eurorack ub802. (they dont look as good),
think il go with a tapco.

so just found out the tapco mix 60 is discontinued :-(

how does the Behringer Xenyx 802 bear up in comparison?

if you are just looking to record guitars to your computer, get something like a toneport etc

 

[digitaldeath]

These n00b kinda questions are happening too often around here lately tbh...

 

[DanLights]

yeah you need is an interface, be it a mixer with usb or firewire connectivity, or if it's just for guitars in demo situations, might as well follow machinated's advice and get a toneport or something similar

 

[if6was9]

yeah you don't need a mixer you need an interface, do some research around here and on online shops and you'll soon figure out which one will suit your needs best

 

[Reuben_REVOKATION]

ahh, its definitely a mixer im afrter.
but thanks anyhoo

Im guessing you don't want to be helped then. We just told you that what you're wanting it for it is not the best choice, not a good one at all. But yeah do whatever want, buy a mixer, have fun turning knobs if that's what you want it for

 

[Machinated]

haha yeah why is it you need a mixer? didnt really give a reason...

Maybe you should explain exactly what you want in terms of recording?

Right now I have a Mackie 32-8 just sitting in the closet collecting dust. Don't know what to do with it. I'm all good with my 2 input Duet. In the bedroom anyway. . .
