Alesis MultiMix 8 USB 2.0?

Post by The Anchors »

I'm looking for a mixer that I can hook up to a mixing program and record/monitor in real-time. This will only be for recording purposes. I have a proper mixer for live use.

I want something that will send each input as an individual track into my mixing program so that I can record my band live (with ease). I'm looking for something that can send at least 4 individual tracks to my laptop. I'd be running keys, bass, and guitar into individual inputs then drums into our live mixer and then into this.

I'm not crazy over this <a href="http://www.alesis.com/multimix8usb20">Alesis Multimix 8 USB 2.0</a> but it seems to be what I'm looking for. I like the fact that it has 1/4" and xlr inputs...

Any suggestions?

Thanks

You know, Lunkhead just got one from MF for $149. It seems like a pretty good little unit if you're looking for hardware mixing.

The FireOne only has 2 channels of audio-in, so it may not be a good fit in this case.
