How is that macky? I almost bought one, I'm also looking for an eq and saw a dbx 15 band for about 160 bucks, not bad I thought. I don't know enough about 31 band eq to justify the money on it

Behringer is the king of the USB's, but their interfaces, both
hardware and software, are quirky at best. The software interface does
the strangest thing I've ever seen--it locks itself to the USB port on
your computer to which you attach the hardware interface. The
hardsware interface is supposed to hook up to the tape in/outs on the
Behringer, which typically are noisier than the standard ins and outs
on the main board. If you could adapt XLR to RCA plugs, you could get
a better quality audio signal into or out of the USB interface, but
that port-tethering thing, ... that's why I ditched the Behringer I
had and went with the Mackie 820I.

do you know if they have something similar that has a usb interface? I
almost bought a maki, but it was a regular mixer. but not enough money.

Highly recommend the Mackie 820I which requires a Firewire interface.

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.

Cheers, Danny

Hi,
Have you tried google for "compact 4-channel mixer"?
You need to avoid a digital one since it can be hard to go around blindly.
Hth,
Pawel.

Subject: Searching for Recommendations: 4-Channel Mixer for Online
Broadcasting

Hi all.  I'm looking to do some internet radio broadcasting and, having
found that broadcasting directly through my computer or soundcard makes my
microphone sound horrible (muffled, buzzing noise behind vocals, popping
when turned on/off, etc), I'm looking for a suitable and accessible
4-channel mixer which I can use to channel my soundcard and microphone.  I'd
also like to have the option of plugging headphones into it so that I can
hear the results of my work as it happens, and features such as being able
to use more than one channel at once (such as talking over the start/end of
a track) are also very important.  Unfortunately I'm very short of space, so
I need something which has good quality output but which is as compact as
possible.  I know this is quite a specific set of requirements, but if
anyone knows of such a model which is accessible for use by someone with
total sight loss (no issues with seeing lights showing feedback etc), I'd be
grateful to hear details.  I'd also appreciate advice on any adaptors which
I might need to help me plug 3.5 mm jacks and an XLR microphone into such a
machine, as this is my first time of exploring this area of production.

Many thanks in advance for any help and advice, Danny
