The 400f is a seriously good deal for the price. I had an Mbox 2 and ended up selling it and buying a 400F. I've now switched my setup to incorporate a large format board but I still use the pres on the 400f. If you would like to hear a recording I did with them let me know. I was much happier...

Find an inexpensive CD mixdown deck if your unit doesnt have one built in. I picked a sony up for cheap a while ago and I'm still using it for rough mixs. Although most my final mixes are mixed down to a half inch machine now.

I'm talking mainly about the handful of behringer boards I've used and the guitar amps sub $700. Although I tend to be very picky about what I'm hearing from every effect, it took me a little over a year to find a reverb I can live with.

It gets the job done but thats not allways the best way to do things. If its quality you want behringer is generally not the way to go, not that they dont work.

I would highly reocmend against integrated effects. They usually sond very thin and weak as well as have a high noise ratio.

Going digital is the only way to get transport control in an inexpensive form. Look into something like the M-Audio Project Mix I/O

I agree. I've never been happy with onboard effects on anything let alone a cheap behringer mixer. Its probally not worth the money trying to fix it.

I opted to go analoug over the digital boards anyway but the Sony DMR100 is a very sweet board, I've only worked with one a handful of times but that board is worth the price in my opinion. I found one going for 7 grand but you could probally find a better deal on one.

Others may know better then me but by the looks of things the Alesis and Phonic would still require you to mix ITB. If you really want to mix on a analoug board you would need a considerably more pricey set up. Depending on the channel count you want you would have to buy a board with direct...

I blame the internet

Avoid pro tools all together, get a Mackie Onyx 400F with Sonar 5 Studio Edition. By buying it now you'll get the free upgradeto 6 when its released. This will set you back under a grand but You can talk it down through Sweetwater or Guitarcenter or something.

Why Don't you go with a pre amp interface with better sounding pres then a firewire board. Something like a Mackie Onyx 400F, Presonus Firepod, RME Fireface 800 or a Mackie Onyx 1200F. Considerably more expensive but you will more then likely be much more happy with your quality. I've made the...

These would definetly be a lot better then any free program out there but is it moraly worth while? Why not just save the money and buy it legit?

It depends on your buget. You can get a Tascam DM 3200 for around three grand. A used tascam TM-D8000 for $2400 and a variety of other things. I would recomend like ssscientist recomended, a pre amp of highish quality and an external control surface that deals with mixing only. Theres a billion...

1 Sounds pretty bad in comparison to 2 which sounds the best and 3 falls dead in the center.

I recently purchased a pair of Event ASP 8s (almost go the passive but opted for active in the end due to a budget increase) and I've been very happy with them. When I was testing them I shot them out against Genelic 8030s, Mackie HR824s, Dynaudio BM5As and JBL LSR4328Ps. I used some material I...

Well you can make it louder by printing it to two, three or four tracks but phasing can get tricky when doing so.

Kiff you don't need a mixer at all in this day and age. It would be easiest on you to go with an interface and a control surface. I went though an analouge purist phase and bought a large mixer. I don't regret it but if your 17 and starting up I would recomend sticking to a digital setup...

Getting a recording board means you only have a board. You would have to get a medium to record to such as a 8, 16, 24 or 48 track reel to reel tape machine or a computer daw set up using AD DA converters. If you are looking for an all in one box you could get something like a Rolan VS 880 and...

Alright cool I'll try all of these. I'm not sure when we'll get to it since I'm finally in construction of the studio but It'll probally be one of the first projects done here. Thanks guys, Kyle
