my music isnt at the level where i think i need a really nice mixer yet (maybe someday).
so im really looking for something that does what i need, is portable (yes live play. parties mostly),
and isnt *that* expensive.

a friend of mine suggested the behringer xenyx 802
it has all the features i want/need:
- small form factor
- 6 stereo paired line inputs (and 2 mics)
- AUX send / return
- about $50...

so unless someone says this mixer really sucks, and has a legitimate reason as to why,
i think i might order this bad boy after pay day. i really want to hear what my stuff sounds
like with multiple synced gameboys mixed properly. plus, i will *FINALLY* get to integrate
my circuit bent casio sk-1 into the soundscapes big_smile


though the roland m-10DX looks pretty
awesome as well... but $100 more... but ya get what ya' pay for...

I'm assuming live use? don't spend too much, you can find something awesome for less than $150 if you stalk craigslist or summat. if it is a mixer for studio on which to mix your recordings, you'll want to spend more on something that is not behringer but that's a whole new realm of poop

NOT a clone. Just Mackie.
If you are on a tight budget, get one of those Behringers that copy a Mackie tongue

So far it has done everything as advertised.  Nice navigation, decent effects, good sound, runs on batteries.  I have had some background noise issues but I think that's a problem on my part...

Thanks! smile

http://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/music_ … e=overview

can be picked up for about £150 on ebay, maybe less if you are lucky. I'd kill for one myself, they just look so cool for me.

Saving for this baby though. Sexy stuff.

edit: ok, ignore what I said, Ebay prices seem to have shot the roof.

the 102c is decent also, not so luxury but much cheaper!
