I'd like an extension cab for my amp but I'm sure Santa is out of them for this year...

QUOTE (Unleash-The-Shred @ Dec 8 2007, 12:22 PM)  What exactly are mixers for? I never really fully understood that. It was explained to me to a certain extend a long time ago but I never really learned what the full meaning of using one is. Mixer allows you to record several instruments at the same time, it can serve as an audio-interface - this one in particular has a firewire connection and can work as audio interface. Cool thing about it is that you can use both Line-inputs and mic-inputs to use microphones to mic your guitar amp. In studio Mixers work for "mixing" (really?  ) and can work in combination with software if the software supports the certain hardware. Well, all in all - you get the idea. Tonymiro can help you much more about it as he's a real specialist in this area. I'm a n00b in mixing so i want to get it to learn to use it and see what my possibilities are with mixer in my small home studio

+1 with what Pavel says about mixers.
Just to add that a mixer will also allow you to eq (ignoring any possible additional effects/processors that the mixer may have) at the recording and/or mixing and or mastering stage. And as Pavel says it allows you to bring together different formats and unify them ie XLR, Digital, TRS, 1/4'' jack etc inputs and put out as a digital toslink. It allows you to group together tracks, etc to apply a common recording/mixing theme. It allows you to set and adjust the gain, stereo balance etc in real time. Some mixers allow you to set and use multiple monitoring setups - so you can have one for the main stereo mix, another for the vocalist and so on. One thing to be slightly wary of - a mixing/recording mixer/console is different to a live mixer and different again to a summing mixer. Mic preamps on a good mixer are usually high quality. Mixers are also a very good way of bussing out stems/final mix etc to a /Reel to Reel/DAT/tape deck/CD recorder etc. On some mixers you can show off a bit by setting up some auto stuff - for instance I can set my faders to automatically follow changes so they move by themselves when you play the recording back - maybe a bit silly but it seems to impress people a lot when they see the console working by itself  . (Maybe much more useful is that I set scenes for different songs and occasional multiple scenes within a single song - a scene lets me switch mier setups all at once as a group.)Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
