this was my second edirol usb interface my first being a little ua3-fx i pre ordered this mixer waited about 4 months to get and paid 700 for it and believe me it was worth the wait and every penny. i... read more [+]n fact i am probably going to buy another one to use the old one for field recording and the new one for studio recording close [-]

Music Background: Recording Engineer
This is my first digital mixer and my first USB mixer so i was a little worried when i made the purchase but when i got it set up all them worries went away first of all the set up is very easy next o... read more [+]f all for its price its probably the best solution i have seen to 16 track multi tracking the input routing is simple and it all goes through a usb which has suprisingly low latencey. the 16 band EQ is great u can realy pin point a sound and mainipulate it how u need .
the overal sound qaulity is great too
the display well maybe unnecessary but still it makes you feel like a pro lol

their are a few bad bits
tracks 5 to 16 a grouped in set of two so you get 5/6 -7/8 and so on
also a real bug for me is that i cannot get the DAW controls to work on nuendo 2 maybe its just me and i can not figure it out but im yet to have any luck with it also it is tricky to update it too v2.00
i did get it sorted in the end but it gave me a bit of stick

conclusion
yes buy this mixer its very very good and prity much problem free as long as you dont expect the V2.00 DAW to work with nuendo . im still very happy with it and im glad i went for this mixer over an anolog mixer its also a great price for what it is .so all in all if u want a 16 track multi tracker thats digital this is the one close [-]

Best Kept Secret in Home Recording

by Jack Loganbill from chicago, IL , USA
December 29, 2008
Music Background: extreme hobbyist
First of all, it is two modules. A mixer module and a rack-mounted connection module. The connection module provides the mic and line input connections. The mixer module provides the mixer controls. T... read more [+]he two module setup is great for small home recording studios like mine where space is an issue.

The M-16DX provides two separate functions: It is a live mixer and it is a 24-bit/96khz audio card for computer-based recording. I use both functions, using it as a front end to our multi-track hard disk recorder and as the interface to our computer-based recording apps. It works great at both functions.

For recording, I use the M-16DX with Tracktion 2. Thanks to its USB 2.0 interface, I can see all 16 channels in Tracktion. I don't use channels 13/14 as inputs since they double as the computer audio output channel when the USB button is selected.

It has a ton of effects which I have not used. I use the basic eq and pan controls and do the rest of the mastering using Tracktion's tools.

The recordings are clean, and thanks to USB 2.0, no pops or misses (so far). A note, USB 2.0 is faster than Firewire. Do not judge USB 2.0 from your USB 1.x experience, they are two different animals. The only fly in the ointment is Windows and the way it handles USB ports. However, I have had no problem and I have 8+ USB connections (mouse, keyboard, MFX boxes with USB, etc.)

All in all, this is a great piece of gear for the home studio. close [-]
