Looks like a pretty good small mixer, I could not find a price on Amazon Canada because they were sold out. I looked elsewhere but sold out those places, too. Great video and information, I'll be watching part 2, when it is uploaded. I want to see if the driver is better than the ASIO4ALL, what it can do for the USB stereo output...

Could I have the main lines from my synth direct to the house mixer and use this mixer to the monitor only?

Can I connect the left xlr main out of the mixer to the mobile, for broadcasting using XLR to TRRS cable? I will have the headphone amp connected to the headphone out of the mixer.

Thanks :) I need to use the Aux out in stereo but not for headphones - its for recording to an unbalances line level input. Will that work ? I have had mixed result using a headphone out for line level inputs (sound often gets bloated)

@RecordingStudio9

Жыл бұрын

This is due to impedance mismatch and additional voltage on the headphone output. You can try and have lower volume for the aux output set as headphone output.

Hi Vatche, do you recommend that also as an audio interface? if not, what interface with eq you recommend? thanks!

This is a Mixer/Audio Interface.... 2X2 2 in Two Out.. so pretty much the same with regular audio interface out there. Focusrite 2i2, Behringer UMC series... If you need more than 2 channels for multitrack then get the Notepad 12FX which is a 4x4 usb interface as well.

Yes, In Monitor Output Type, press down Stereo Phones and Source select, up for monitor mix and down for master. Then use the main channel 1 and 2 level for audience, but for monitor level, only turn up channel 1.

Technically yes you can. Just make sure the Monitor level for inputs 2/3 is at zero, or you will create audio feedback loop. If possible, set the FX unit to 100% wet, as you will already get the dry signal from Ch 1.

Most small scale budget USB mixers don't have higher rate A/D. However, some budget interfaces do go up to 192Khz for less than $200, but of coarse these do not have same options as mixers.

@tidason

@@RecordingStudio9 that's right and totally understandable. It's an awesome mixer though.

Firstly, I must ask, what is the DAC/ADC like? Specs please. I ain't buying anything less than 24bit 192khz, and I prefer 32bit 768khz+. For obvious reasons. Also, circuitry is important, as in isolators, etc. *I haven't watched the video yet, though I will, but I mean, 20 minutes... I already have a solid USB audio interface with 24bit 192khz support (I use a 32bit 384khz DAC currently, so), dual XLR/6.3mm input/outputs, 3.5 aux for monitor, hi-z, etc that cost $45...so I need some serious convincing. Yeah no offense, but after watching the video. I'd rather get a much better basically unknown South African mixer and I reckon my audio interface is more functional than the "soundcraft" thing in practice. Have a good day though. I've tested dual reference mics, dynamic mics, DI guitars, monitoring, etc. Obviously with splitters I could use more than just two inputs.
