Topic: USB Mixers - What are you using? - Page: 1

Dieser Teil des Themas ist veraltet und kann veraltete oder falsche Informationen enthalten

Hi All,

Right now I have a Rane Empath mixer. . . . I am considering moving to a USB mixer but my criteria is Needs to be 3 channels, have a booth out for my wireless speaker setup, fit in a coffin case and a CLEAR Mic engagement.

The issues I run into with Numark, Gemini, Denon, etc. . is that when you engage the microphone it comes with the traditional HIIISSSSSS over the speakers.


Just looking for some input and advice from you guys on the board.

Price really isn't an option since I paid $1500 for my Rane Empath already.

I use an ECLER NUO4. There are two different kinds the 1 I have has the midi controls down the center.

Huey,

How is the mic input on it?
 
I don't use a mic so honestly I can't say, lol. I run all my sound to a board and we just plug our mics into that. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Huey
 
No Prob. . .
 
no other people want to chime in on this?
 
I also use Ecler Nuo 4 with midi and use a mic all the time no problems for me
 
I know there is a few guys around here that use the Korg Zero 4 and Ecler nuo5 (I think that's what its called, lol). As far as the microphones go im sorry I can't be more help. Maybe a moderator could change the title of the thread to" Usb or Midi Mixers with Great Mics". You might get more replies. Just my thoughts.

im using the pioneer djm5000 and love it.all buttons mappable if you desire i only have crossfader and sample and never had a prob have it with the denon hd2500.
3 mic inputs if desired all seperatly control with effects echo bass ect
 
I'm using Allen & Heath 4D without any prob.
 
I am using a VMS4 by American Audio. I must say I like it and havn't had a problem with mine.

I have the Korg Zero4, here are my thoughts.

* Uses a Firewire connection, not USB.
* Really cool effects, multiple layers for each channel
* Mic works good, can use effects on your voice as well.
* Like the option to select which channels use MIDI
* Mic input also doubles as a guitar input
* No seperate Mic controls, uses any one of the 4 channels. No instant hiss as your using the slider and seems clean overall, even at volume.
* Headphone output too low, I use an external headphone amp
* Don't care for how the Sampler works
* Not a common layout size (12x16), finding cases is a little harder.

Overall, I like the mixer and thought it would end up near the top after a few years development, apparently Korg didn't feel the same way...
For me, this will probably end up being used more as a studio mixer and I will probably get a Rane SL57 or Sixty-Eight to give me more options when playing out.
 
I´m using a Denon DN-X1600 for events and in clubs and at home Mackie d.2 with Firewire card for ripping Vinyl (because it´s the mixer with the best sound I ever heard :o)
 
Jeremy,
Don't you use Bose L1's? Have you tried the T1? I love it.

$499

Incredible sound card. 4 programmable inputs. Clear mics, great effects. Back lit. fits in the palm of my hand.
 
How about an Allen & Heath Xone:42?

OK it's four channel, but it has USB - the Xone:32 doesn't.
 
... but without built-in sound card !
• USB 1.1 port One stereo up to PC and one stereo back
 
Stereo out and stereo in seems like a sound card to me!

Besides, he asked about USB mixers and didn't specify any sound card ability.

:-D

I do use bose, but I'm a coffin case mixer guy. . . Still looking for a midi mixer to go with vdj. . . this is a hard choice because I don't want to drop the money on one to find out it's not what I want.

lost still.
 
Oh, and a built in sound card would be nice.
