cheap mixer?
i bought a "ross" 16 channel mixer off of ebay.i dont know if these are "cheapo "but if they are there must be something wrong with mine.I mainly use makie but when on the move recording(mobile)i usually bring this one along .its slim,really wide and and no deeper than the lenthof my forearm.all 16xlr inputs are on the top,strange for a narrow mixer ,same with the inserts.i got it for about $200.i have also seen the 8 channel versions too(half the size)mine really sounds amazing,the preamps are crisp and clear and the eq's are very responsive.i don't think mine was altered becuase when i got it it looked practically new.i run into a pair of roland 1680 recorders when i need to record 16 tracks live.all the tracks are seperate and sound great.i have also recorded 16 channels from the ross into 2 stereo tracks on the 1680 .(live mix)sounds great.$200 pretty cheap!
