Alesis 12R

[imacgreg]

I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with the Alesis 12R Rack mixer. Are the preamps good quality? Will they be a huge step up from my tascam 424MKII? Can i have a direct out from all the XLR channels?
Thanks for answering my questions!!!

I have an Alesis 12R, but I dont use if for microphones. You can use the inserts half way to send a signal out to your recorder on the eight channels with XLR. You also have phantom power for the mic pres.
