lobematt Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Not sure if I'm asking for too much... But ideally I'd like a mixer than I can connect to my mac to record with while sending a monitor mix out. 4 ins and outs would be perfect! Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

lobematt Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Something like this but with more AUX sends... https://www.gak.co.uk/en/behringer-xenyx-1204usb-12-channel-mixer-with-usb-audio-interface/38279 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Not sure I understand exactly what you're after. Doesn't the behringer you linked to have the functionality you want using the ALT34 outputs and panning each pair of channels hard left and right?

lobematt Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 I'm not really sure what the ALT outs are... Basically I want a mixer that I can use in rehearsals with a USB to record into Logic and monitor sends for the band (just a trio) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 You aren't going to get a mixer that does all that with that sort of aux count. The thing that comes to mind is the Behringer XR18 - compact, relatively cheap for what it is... and can serve as a mini mixer... or a big mixer!

lobematt Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Thanks, those X Airs look great, bit more than I wanted to spend though really... The search continues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorR Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 If I get your requirements right... main stereo out plus 4 separate aux outs per channel you do just need to go up in spec and up in price... there is a Behringer desk on GAK that has 4 dedicated aux per channel plus monitor and fx sends for each. However, that's in the £600 price range. But a compromise might be this https://www.gak.co.uk/en/behringer-zenyx-qx2442usb-mixer/101213 , the Behringer Xenyx QX2442USB Mixer. Each channel has 2 dedicated aux sends plus a monitor and an fx send. You could use the monitor send and the FX send as Aux 3 and Aux 4 (because that's all they are really). Price for that one is £327. Dearer but not that much dearer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) If you are looking at that sort of money of the two quoted, I'd still be looking at the XR16 and XR18. High aux count costs money. The XR16 will record direct to USB in stereo... XR18 will go to a DAW to output all of it's tracks individually. Both have 6 aux sends and of course, all the onboard fx engines, compressors, eq and the like. Alas, great kit but I think it's still more money that the OP doesn't want to spend.

lobematt Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Ok great stuff, thanks for the input guys! I'm a bit lost when it comes to this sort of gear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Mixer with direct outs may do it, but they are pre-EQ, so you'll only get a basic, flat signal for each instrument. However, you should be able to edit/deal with all that once you have the material on the computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
