i need a mixer now, probably 4 channels minimum but more would be better i guess. this is so i can route my few pieces of gear to my speakers mixed, and maybe so i can run my computer output in there as well, and maybe mix between some external stuff and traktor. help me out. Im not fussy and i dont have any money whatsoever but I dont know what to look for. thanks yo |

combining question 1 and 2 makes me wonder what kind of an soundcard you are using as in my opinion it's better to get an decent soundcard with a few in and out's instead of getting a crappy soundcard and a crappy mixer. |

the soundcard question is for a friend, this question is my own. the problem really is i cant tell whats a crappy mixer and what isnt, for my purposes at least |

well, incase you can't tell what an crappy mixer is then you would probably be able to settle with one =) there's many decent mixers in the really low budget area and they do sound ok unless youre an complete audiohpile or soundgeek, I mean the price range is allot bigger then the "sound good range", to get an mixer that sounds very clean and neutral cost allot more then to get one that just colours the sound alittle, and one that colour the sound in some sort of old school beauty analog way costs more then any human being dare to think about so unless youre extremely picky I would recommend any cheap mixer from behringer or any of those budget companys. Then it's just up to you to decide how many i/o's you need (remember to get a few more then you need atm otherwise you just have to pick up a new mixer again in alittle while.) Im sure that what ive said here doesnt help at all but it's really hard to recommend mixers as it's first of all up to one another what they want and need and if you ignore small facts like "the knobs are a bit slow" or "the eq sounds a bit round" then it's just a matter of inputs and outputs again. But hell, good luck. |

What he said. I don't really like budget gear, but out of budget gear, Behringer are the ones I object to least. |

can you suggest a behringer one? Im looking at this page and i cant really tell them apart, i dont understand why they have some stereo and some mono channels, and stuff, its confusing. |

Well, the reason there's some stereo and some mono is probably just to make it more easy to use, for example if you want to connect an synth (stereo) into the mixer you can connect it's two cables into an stereo channel and control both those channels with one fader instead of having to connect the left/right from the synth to two different mono channels (wich would force you to adjust two different faders or eq's or whatever on the two mono channels whenever you wanted to change anything etc.) The mixer you linked to looks OK, probably does it's job and if it's 4 channels you need then 10 will probably be an good amount to buy for future usage. The one Falito posted a pic of looks like it has built in FX to, I dont know how the built in FX on behringers boards sound but it could be fun and perhaps usable and probably doesnt change the price allot so consider built in FX if it comes for a small extra price as some small amount of compression can often be really usefull on insecure signals. I would have a look at costs a bit more but looks like a bit more to "grow in", I tryed the UB series at my old school and as far as I can remember it felt fine. |

Go for a second-hand mixer, you can get fairly large vintage mixers for a very good price! |
