    488 MKII ???

    I Know nothing about computer recording. I liked the mixer very much. Keep in mind that the 488 has stereo outs. It doesn't have direct channel outs.The 238 and 688 does. The 488 is Still a great deck and you can get it new.

    maybe you can try turning the 238 on and letting it "warm up" 15 minutes or so before you use it.It Might do the trick for a long time. They are great decks

    Which live vocal mic for...

    58's are fantastic mic's. I've recored some great singing with one,NOT ME. For the money 58's and 57's can't be beat. If I had to buy one and only one mic for under 150.00 it would be a 57.They are worth more money than what they cost
