nothing stellar, but no Vikings or FOH roadies were injured during the show: The MG EQs require Half A NanoTweak precision, but I get usable USB in and out, again, unlike the ProFX. They are becoming extinct as the digital mixers like the XR12 suck up all the market having much more bang for the buck and simply way more bang all the way around (better eq, better efx, etc, etc).No, the Yammie MGs here, actually pass signal, thru every channel, buss, and port.unlike the ProFX. There really aren't that many good analog mixers out there. I would say they are even more awful than the Mackie ProFx mixers (which are still awful IMO). If you need a decent analog mixer with mutes and fx, then I would suggest Soundcraft. It is a solid tablet mixer with way more usable controls than the Mackie (or ZED). Not bad considering they are $330 new.įor a more feature rich mixer, I would suggest the Behringer XR12. and will retain most of its value too (used on ebay they are going for ~180). I guarantee this little guy will do you well for decades to come. I went through 2 behringer Zenyx and 1 ProFx before feeling really stupid and finally settling on the ZED. This is a great sounding little mixer that is built like a tank. My recommendation would be the Allen & Heath ZED 10fx. Both would have enough i/o for my needs.I agree with those who question the reliability and sound quality of either Mackie mixer you mentioned. In the older one, I could hookup my RNC compressor in the insert for vocal comp.Ĭould save a lot by buying V2 right now, but wanted to see if anyone thought V3 was worth the extra money for the new model. So also 2 one-knob compressors in the newer model vs faders and a seperate monitor and FX send on the older one. ProFx8v2 at $140 or the ProFx10v3 at $230 I know V3 is only a couple of months old, but anyone have an opinion on this?
