A friend just gave me a Mackie CR-1604 and I was wondering if anyone had any comments about this mixer. I am purchasing a Tascam 38 and would like a decent mixer...being that I cant really afford good mic-pre's right now. Is the Mackie worth it...or should I get one of the Tascam M-series mixers (cause there are some cheap ones on ebay)? thanks for the help...
