| If you overdrive channels on your analog mixer "often", and that's an important part of "your sound", you probably don't want a digital mixer. Depending on the design, you might be able to clip an analog input stage without digital clipping (or hitting a digital limiter or something) but that's not the same sound as the several possible stages of an analog mixer that can be overdriven.
What are you using now? Are you using a less expensive mixer that begins with the letter "B", "M", or "Y", and you're looking to upgrade to something "famous name", or are you looking for more channels or other features that you don't have now?
Why does it "have to be" new? Credit card burning a hole in the ol' pocket? "Gotta have a warranty" paranoia? Other? If you can consider used, you can get a lot more value for money. |
