Hello all, you guys have been such a great help over the last year, and I am ready to begin a small upgrade to my "studio".
Right now I have:
Yamaha MG10/2 Mixer
KRK RP-5 Monitors
MBox
MXL 990/991 mics
Various guitars
For the last year or so, I have been running the mics and guitars right into the MBox and for the most part have used the mixer to route the sound from the MBox to the monitors (the MBox has no volume control for the monitor output).
I have recently purchased a Vox Tonelab SE, and will need 2 mono channels for recording it properly. I also would like to capture and play some of my rare vinyl (I will be purchasing an ART DJPRE II phono preamp and perhaps an audio selctor to plug phono, tape and cd into to run to mixer).
All said I need to input:
2 XLR mono (mics)
3 TRS mono (L-R vox tonelab and 1 direct input from acoustic/electric guitar)
1 TRS mono (analog keyboard)
2 TRS mono (L-R monitor output from MBox)
1-3 pair TRS stereo/rca (phono, tape and CD)
I am thinking of purchasing the Behringer Eurorack UB1222FX-PRO. I know Behringer is not thought of highly here, but it fits my price range, and has the features I was lacking on the Yamaha:
XLR output for monitors
4 mono/8 stereo channels
MUTE option on each channel
faders are not knobs
Any help or advice would be appreciated as always. And if there is a better way to spend my ~$200, please feel free to make suggestions.
