Nah, thanks for the offer though mate. I need something with more out puts. I am pretty sure I am going to go with the Mackie.

yeah, probably best to get the mackie posted above with that combination, though you'd want a d/i box for the guitar/bass stuff

Here is the setup I am imaging.

I will have my laptop running Ableton Live and have an APC40 running it with a MIDI Fighter 3D for effects. The sound card will plug into the mixer along with an Ipad, N-DS, Kaossilator, mic, and I want a few slots to be able to plug in guitar, or bass, or anything really. I want flexibility with that. Then the output will plug into a KP3.

I will be get some scholarship money soon and will not care to spend a little bit but nothing outrageous because I need to still get the APC40 and a soundcard, but that is I think the last of what I need to have a live workstation that I want.

Any suggestions towards this or ideas? I really appreciate hearing from all of you too thanks!

Also what is your budget? Any what are the devices, a mix of guitars, vocals, gameboys or ten synths? Assuming it is a mixed bag of things and you have the budget, get one of these

http://www.mackie.com/products/1202vlz3/

its 270 bucks with free shipping on Amazon, it has 4 mono and 4 stereo inputs as well as a tape input and 2 stereo returns. It is built like an absolute tank and sounds great.

Also regarding the converter, just buy a 10 dollar cable with RCA on one end and 1/4 inch on the other, it will give you access you a MUCH better range of mixers than limiting yourself to RCA out.

you don't need the conveter if you hook it to the tape out

I've had good luck with behringer mixers, chip folks love them in general.

i don't really recommend male to male adapters, better to get a male to female and a cable imho... like so:

lazerbeat is absolutely right though, don't substantially restrict your choice of mixers and/or pay extra for one just to save using two < $5 adapters

I have been looking at mixers for a bit and I have no clue what to get.

I have around 8-10 devices that I will want to be able to plug in. I would like to have RCA out so that I could run it to a KP3 without a converter. I have never owned a mixer that didn't come built into my PA head and there are so many brands and models I just don't know where to start. Does anyone have any suggestions on something I should look into?


Thanks smile

how many of those 8-10 devices are stereo?
