Welcome Alex! Good to have you here.

First thing, the mixer used +/- 10 VDC, not 10VDC. Different beast altogether.
Second, you won't find a DC transformer. Transformers are AC in/ AC out. You have to build a rectifier circuit to convert AC to DC. Which you don't want.
Third, you will need a circuit to convert whatever voltage you get out of the transformer to the 10VAC that you need for the mixer.
Here's a pic of the rear of your mixer.

I listened, Mason. A bit dodgy at the start, but good singing further in.
A very polished track. It is not my thing though. A bit bland for me. Some will love it though.

Hey thanks man! Appreciate the feedback! Could you let me know where you think it’s dodgy and any thoughts on how to adjust? Thanks again!

nice track - interesting use of the filter on the vocals in the beginning - I think it needs more - vocals sound AI - are they?

Thanks for the feedback man! Vocals are all me! No AI (not sure if that’s a compliment or not lol) Just to clarify: what do you think needs to be added? Thanks!

Interesting track.. The intro vocal threw me for a loop. I don't know if I would have gone that direction. I might have done a fade in, maybe with a steady pan from one side, or a decreasing reverb for 2 bars. Or maybe a slapback echo on the first two phrases of vocals before the verse comes in. The tonal change almost sounded like the old days when your tape would screw up and go out of alignment!
It's a bit of a shame when people automatically think everything has gone AI.
Sometimes too much pitch correction can make things sound artificial. A little bit of imperfection can make things sound more "human". Drum plugins often have a function to introduce random variations in velocity and quantization to make it sound less robotic.

More instruments and more beef on the low end.

I don’t think everything has gone AI - but the sound of the vocals on the track have a very distinct artificial sound.

Well, I liked it.
It's smooth and harmonious.
It just needs a little more work on the music mix, especially on the percussion, a little more punch.
And yes, the voice could sound like AI.

Hello everyone my name is Bill I'm from England and I'm 69 years old. I have a strong interest in music and learnt to play guitar as a young man. I've been retired for a while and thought it would be fun to recreate some of the songs I love so I started buying the various items I needed to do this. I hadn't played guitar since I was 30 and found it a bit of a shock as how bad I was. I couldn't play the guitar and sing at the same time for instance. I have overcome this and things are a lot better now. I have been looking at a lot of posts on recording acoustic guitar as this is where I wish to improve my sound from my budget equipment.
Thanks Bill
Thanks Bill

Welcome aboard, Bill. Like you, I took a long time off but when the bug bit me again, it got me good. I found a whole new world of recording that is far better than I ever got in the old days.
I think "budget equipment" these days is massively better than it was 30-40 yrs ago. A $100-150 mic and a $200 hand held recorder can make unbelievable recordings. And a computer with a DAW like Reaper and a $150 interface gives you unlimited capability.
Have fun, and if you hit a stumbling block, just ask. There's always someone here who has been there before.
