In my studio i have an Mackie 802VLZ4, perfect in combination with my OT because of the ALT3/4 option on every track so i can send every track to the master of the mixer or to the OT for sampling/mangling.
When i go outside of my studio it find the mackie to big. My ideal little OT companion would have 1 mic input, 1 stereo input, 1 stereo main out and 1 stereo/mono ALT/AUX output. The mic input needs to be send to the main mix of the mixer or to another output, just as the ALT3/4 om my mackie, or maybe a pre-fader aux send. Meanwhile the stereo channel can be a dedicated volume for the OT.
I’ve searched a lot on this forum and some webshop but can’t find a small mixer with this combination of options. Most of the very small mixers don’t have an ALT option or a pre fader AUX send.
Does anyone here knows such small mixer with this options? Or another solution?
Yes Indeed it needs to be very very very small So all the options mentioned are to big (most of them bigger than my mackie).
Berhinger has some realy small ones, almost perfect, but no way of sending the mic to something else than the master
One of these is on sale locally. Hadn’t heard of the company before, but it looks like they’re still in business producing hi-end mixers. No pre-fade AUX afaics, but it has PFL which my Boss BX 8 and BX 16, which we with mate use in our live rig, don’t.
This is the size i’m looking for. Or even smaller
Unfortanatly this one, or others i know with this size, doesn’t allow me to send the mic to something els than the master.
Size is perfect! Almost… but only 1 stereo out But maybe this is the best option: i will use a small midi controller for the OT with the setup and maybe i can dedicate one control for the master output of the OT.
I have an old Behringer mixer lying around, maybe i can try to modify it.
That Zoom U44 is a strange thing, could be handy, but after reading the userguide i’m still not sure if it fits my needs.
According to Soundcraft’s specs, the monitor output is stereo, just flip that switch on the output type, and you have independent control of what gets sent to that output, like a stereo aux send.
