Good Rackmount Mixers for Personal Use?

I think that could turn out to be an incredibly bad thing, unless you really know what you're doing with a mixer.

Besides, I'm sure the house mixer will be a much, better mixer then the one you'd be using (no offense). It's just that you can't compare a Mackie or Behringer to some little rouge mixer.


Plus, the soundguy has a large mixer for a reason, he doesn't hold a mixer that (in decent sized venues) costs over 1k for no apparent reason.


Just my 2 cents.

 

Mr. Cake: Do you really hate the sound of your amp that much? Let the soundguy handle it, won't ya?

Ha, a lot of people actually DO compare Behringers to Rouges...

 

I like the Behringer Ultralink Pro MX882



8 channel mixer/splitter. You typically sacrifice a lot of functions when you put a mixer into a 1 or 2 space rack mount configuration, but this should suit your purposes fine.

 

Dude... you really want a super processed tone dontcha? Actuly it wouldtn be that processed, but look at it this way. EVERY gig you'd have to set up all your mike's, DI's and all that junk. THEN, you'd have to set up the levels for EVERY input you decided on. I mean, you might as well have your own sound man at this point.

why not just get a super good sounding amp, which you only need one mike for, will probly cost less than all that soundboard gear you want, and easyer to set up.

 

hahahaha, Oysterman...

I don't think that's a very intelligent comparison.

I'm getting a Behringer 20 channel mixer, for recording purposes, and I'd eventually like to open a venue, and after the mixer, all I'll need is an old warehouse, and two powered P.A. speakers.


I think if you do get one though, the one EString showed will more then suffice, although, I, personally, think it's a waste of money.

 

Personally, I don't think anyone needs more than one DI signal from your amp or your bass, and one coming from one miked speaker.

 

i want a mixer in my rack, but for a totally different reason.


lets say you have 4 basses. all have different output levels. and you switch basses alot during a show.


plug 'em all into the mixer, adjust them so all the volumes are the same, and then run the singular input into the rest of your rack. no a/b boxes to worry about....
