hello everyone...
i need some help here...im looking for a small, inexpensive mixer that will allow me to:
1. take at least 2 line ins from a recorder..
2. has 2 aux sends (i need to plug a verb unit and a compressor to it)
3. has a volume knob for monitors (not just headphones)
4. has two line outs in the form of 1/4 jack or rca that will allow me to take the signal out of it into a 2 track recorder (tape or cd) without having to use the mixer's monitor outs
5. i would also like the hability to route 4 signals into one going out (like: record a drum set with 4 mics, and blend those signals together into one mono track) if this even exists..i would like this hability but i also need the one explained on point 4.
6. i want it to have no effects whatsoever, but if you guys recomend those alesis ones, so be it..
7. preamps dont really matter (i will only use them if i ever have to mic a drum kit), i will only use the circuit, not the pres..all my preamps are external, and they go into the recorder first, then that signal goes into the mixer for "mastering" (if i can even call it that) purpose.
8. faders would be great, but really not essential..i guess.
ive never used a mixer before so i really dunno what im going into and what exactly do i need, or if this even exists for that matter..ive been looking at the yamaha mg series, but the one with 2 ax sends is a bit too big and has way more channels than what i need. the compact series from soundcraft are also interesting, as are the alesis...but idd rather really let you guys decide for me as this is probably very obvious to everyone, but not for me since ive never used one. I really just want it for the circuit quality, eq quality, and features, not preamp quality or anything like that (so i guess that scratches behringer in a second ).
tanx in advance guys.
