Mackie have some mixers out under their budget brand Tapco. Quality is meant to be good for the price. Could be just what you need for your gear. Have a good xmas mate.

mackie definitely isn't a budget brand. those tapco mixers are quite good actually I've heard. I'm kinda nudging towards buying a blend 6 for live use.

Well, they aren't a budget brand when you compare them to yamaha or behringer. They were one of the first budget mixer companies though, if I am not mistaken.

Mackie isn't a budget brand. £1K for their middle of the range monitors and £300 for a studio master volume knob = far from cheap.

Hmmm. Things change. They were the first company to make affordable mixers. Of course they have high end stuff, but so does behringer, right?

I guess its really what you consider budget though. For a mixer, I would say anything less than $800 is going to mean compromising features or sound quality.

I'd say Makie isn't a budget brand. Even there cheaper stuff is good quality. The Makie brand is strong IMO.

Hmmm. Maybe its more of a definition misunderstanding. When I hear budget, I generally understand it as marketted towards the hobbyist or prosumer market, but not necessarily something that is cheap.

XENYX. Got one for Christmas. I had the previous UB2442 FX version and XENYX is sooo much better. I am much more impressed with the XENYX than I expected to be.
I got the XENYX2442 and best things are: *EQ is so subtle compareed to UB2442 (which was alright anyway)
*FX unit has much better fx really really useful and fun *Value for money is just amazing.
I am so impressed with xenyx. I've not used and likely won't use the low noise mic preamps, but the specs seem good. I dunno what they sound like.
It also comes with a quite good USB audio interface too, which was nice. Can't recommend it enough as a really good budget mixer.

Nice one. I think I'll get the 1204FX, the 2442 would be overkill for me I think.
