Recommendations for mixer?

zboy2854 · 22nd December 2003, 03:45 PM

I'm looking for a great sounding option to mix through out of discrete outs from PT. I have about $4K to spend, and am looking for the highest quality outboard mixer option I can get for the money, either 16 or 24 channels. I know about the Dangerous 2 bus stuff, but are there any other great sounding options, possibly with a more traditional console layout I should look at for the money?

as discussed by all previously...the Midas Venice will fill the bill

couple others to consider:

Folcrom RMS216

Daking

Aurora GTM822

the Folcrom will come under budget, i don't know the prices of the other two. please post back if you find out.

Great, thanks. I'll post back after I get some prices/further info.

what about a soundcraft ghost. i think new is a little over your budget, but maybe used would work?

Has anyone seen this yet?

Phoenix Nicerizer

Looks interesting...

Edit: It's got transformer outs on every channel, how many other mixers in the class have that?

Very interesting indeed. Pity you can't pan. I can't use a box that hasn't got at least a L/C/R switch. And what about the "sweetening" word. I don't get these adjectives. But I'm going to check it out as soon as possible anyway.

I think I'm gonna go with the Venice in the end. Perfect for the live stuff I do and I like the fact that it has a small footprint. Useful eq's and real preamps. Any opinions on it's summing? I've never used one in a studio context.

You may like to check out a second-hand TAC Bullet or similar(AMEK BC2/BC3). Clean pre's with allegedly the same eq circuit as the old AMEK Angela(on the bullet)

Cheers,
Tim

BC2's n BC3's were pretty xpensive...well built small AMEK mixers
