Setup Question // Mixer Recommendation

If you have the funds, RME interfaces tend to work standalone as mixers, too.

#22

if its feature set fits your needs, I bet the new OTO mixer will sound fantastic.

#23

This reads supercool, but those 3,5mm jacks are too much con for me.
With proper jacks, this would be definitely in the closer choice.

#24

I hate those small jacks too, but OTO stuff is so nice i can forgive them. Not in my price range anyhow 9and mixer feedback is pretty important to me, so I really coulnt bring myself to buy something without at least one send and EQ with sweepablemids on all channels), but Iā€™m sure itā€™s a great sounding little summing box/sweetener.

If you donā€™t have a lot of funds there is this.

A week and a half ago I found a listing for a 10 channel mixer with aux sends, three band EQ and some built in effects for $20 each on AliExpress but I didnā€™t buy one and theyā€™re already gone. Seemed like it had a lot of potential for mixer feedback and noise, I wish I hadnā€™t waited.

The closest thing right now is this 8 channel one for $60 but the topology isnā€™t quite as good and $60 is a bit much for a noise mixer.

This one also has a lot of potential, but shipping to the USA is $60, and that puts the total cost over 4100 - really pushing it for only 8 channels and fixed mid frequency.

Only saw this just now. Sorry for my follow-up post that just repeated your post because I hadnā€™t read far enough.

Bought and sold a lot a stuff since 30 years. Unfortunately I canā€™t play everything at the same timeā€¦
(This picture was a joke for Your Setup topic. I sold some gear, since, bought new. Still too much !)

#36

Thatā€™s why I started looking at these last week, Iā€™m kind of in the market for a small, noisy mixer under $40 to use for feedback in a new project.

This ?

Iā€™ve had one of those before, it would be OK but itā€™s twice what Iā€™m planning to spend theyā€™re nearly $100 in the us. If the EQ had a variable mid Iā€™d probably still have the first one I got.

I really just need to get around to building a Schumann F-Loop. Iā€™m about halfway done already, all thatā€™s left to do is buy all the pots and switches and a few other parts I didnā€™t already have on hand when I started it, and then figure out an enclosure but it hasnā€™t been very high priority so Iā€™ve been putting it off until I need some other small parts since the shipping would be the same either way.

Anyhow, none of thatā€™s relevant to the thread.
