alesis multimix 8 usb
fantastic hardware for budding musician ,,now let me explain the benefits of this unit .its usb compatible just plug in you sound equipment and conect to your computer record all that noise yes noise not music becouse this comes with cubase 4 le .its nearly worth the purchurse just for cubase .its not the full progrme that cost £400 but a version scaled down.so what can you do well all those dud notes record them re sync them upto 8 channells of noise mix then play reshuffle play again then just add mike what you got is the basis of music .....this aint fast process but you can achive miricles in quite short time .back to the unit itself it has 4 mono inputs 1-4 and two stereo 5&6 7&8 all with equalizer high gain for low input pre and post aux for enhancment but to top of it able to make sound changes upto 100 in all like hall room stadium but allso have you ever heard you self speeking or singing like a dylak ha ha you can input music lik cd or ipod then play along this box of trics is a must for the music beginer or more advanced ,,,but what i found best of all i could sit back with a set of headphones pluged in and play my guitar full blast as if i was in a studio but without anoying anyone in the house .no more amplifier just this great box of trick and headphone and adjust to what i want it to sound like alesis also make a ipod version little bit more in money take a look at ther site and choose which version would suit you best and your pocket both versions are capable of producing great sound but the ipod version has the advantage of recording without the aid of a computer if thats what you want alesis products have been made of a very high standard and you would be forgiven if you thought it was made 10 years ago becouse its not plastic junk it looks and feels as if it was made for a professinol as may be you are that so this woul suit you dowto the ground input range from acusti electric guitar to keyboad or mike violin as long as you are able to electricly conect or play into a mike this is a must musician dream piece of equipment all possative coments except youll have fun in getting it to work on a computer be patient and all will fall into place also that computer needs to be powefull enough and a good capacity hard drive worth investing externall drive to save your work bye bye cheap as chips when you relise what you are getting for your money both unit alesis 8 usb and cubase 4 le how can you go wrong ....make them sounds now sound like music
Alesis multimix 8
Good little mixer for the newcomer. Great range in the controls. Mic preamps are a little wimpy, but for the price paid not bad. Only thing i will say is that this is NOT fully compatable with vista. I am using 32bit and it crashed the computer all the time, i therefore had to return it. But if your running XP or other i would recommend fully, running vista, forget it.
Alesis MultiMix 8 USB - Perfect for the job
The Alesis Multimix 8 USB provides the perfect aggregation platform for small-medium scale recording or podcasting.
My setup includes an iMac as the recording platform and target system, 2 x mic inputs for voice work, a PC input into the mixer for VoIP-based telephony interaction and cart-wall functionality and an XBox360 - just for fun!
Garageband on the iMac lets me record for final output and the mix controls and effects delivered by the Multimix provide me with the levels of control I need for all of the individual inputs.
If you are looking for a simple mixing platform with good levels of control and output quality, you simply can't go wrong with the Alesis MultiMix 8 USB.
Alesis MultiMix 8 USB
The MultiMix 8 is an 8-channel analog mixer from a well-known and well-trusted brand - Alesis.
This is the USB version of the mixer, as opposed to the FireWire version, which has a higher rate of data transfer, but is more expensive. This USB mixer is therefore more appropriate for entry-level musicians and recording artists, as it will 'Plug and Play' in most computers.
The sound quality is excellent, although a notorious problem with this design is an occasional high-pitched electronic 'buzz' when using the USB connection. However, this only happens on some computers, and only affects the sound as monitored in the 'control room' section of the mixer (so the buzz does not affect the final recorded sound).
Feature-wise, this is a great mixer, as it is well-equipped with good quality EQs, 4 high-gain mic/line inputs with phantom power, 2 stereo balanced 1/4” line inputs, and an array of good quality on-board effects, which makes it ideal as a portable mixing solution.
The mixer has solid build quality, and comes with a free copy of Steinberg's Cubase LE - perfect for a new musician or podcaster who wants to get recording straight away.
Excellent small mixer
A nice little mixer for the home studio.
The first four channels are used for mono input, either from an XLR microphone or a 1/4" mono jack, and each channel has an individual gain setting, allowing the signal to be boosted. The other channels act as two stereo channels (inputs are 2x 1/4" mono jacks for each). Unfortunately no gain is available on these, so they should be line-level.
The USB-function allows the Alesis MultiMix 8 USB to be used as a CD-quality USB sound-card, both for input and output. Works fine with Windows, untested on Linux.
100 different effects can be applied to the signal, although the description of the different effects is somewhat vague.
Other than that a very nice mixer at a very reasonable price.
