Great Mixer, OK interface

Music Background: Worship Leader, Songwriter
I find this an indespensible on-stage mixer. It was the perfect fit for a number of different setups I wanted to do with guitar effect, synths, vocals and my laptop.

The one drawback i... read more [+]s that the driver needs tweeking to avoid studder when playing audio from the laptop (OSX) to the mixer. Recording worked without a hitch.

Another great feature is that it is built like a tank. I have no fears bringing it on the road. close [-]
