Okay Danny, I am not sure what "affordable" means to you and how serious you are about your broadcasting but here comes a couple of devices you might like to read about: Allen & Heath XB14 broadcast mixer dbx 166xs Dual Compressor / Limiter / Gate
Hth, Pawel. -----Original Message----- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Danny Miles Sent: Friday, September 02, 2011 5:14 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Searching for Recommendations: 4-Channel Mixer for OnlineBroadcasting Hi. Am based in the UK and found lots on Amazon, but many of them were very cheap (£15-ish) and seemed to be called microphone mixers. I presume that they're not powerful enough to channel something as powerful as a laptop or USB soundcard (hence the low price), so am trying to make sure what the differences are and to ensure that I get an affordable product which won't go to waste. I presumed there might be some people on here who already use appropriate gear for broadcasting or DJ-ing and might therefore be able to advise from first-hand experience or knowledge of how these things work.
