Okay guys, A little off-topic here, but I need a mixer. I've got Ardour working great now, and I'm ready to do some recording, possibly some live recording of my trio. Here's my problem: I need a mixer that will let me listen to the current mix, and only send what I want to record to my inputs. My Mackie 1202-VLZ did this via "Alt Outs." I could press a button on a channel, and only that channel went to the alt outputs, meaning I could listen to the whole mix on my mixer and only record what I wanted to. So the obvious answer here is "buy another Mackie," but they are a little pricey. If I can get out cheap, or maybe buy a higher quality mixer used, I would do that. I've looked into Behringer mixers, but they don't seem to be able to do the alt output trick. Also, there are a lot of digital mixers on eBay (EZ-Bus, Tascam, Roland, Yamaha 01-V) that look good and only cost around $300 or less. Any opinions? What are you guys using in your home studios? -- Josh Lawrence http://www.hardbop200.com
