I managed to get hold of a brand new Blue Baby Bottle SL microphone and this mic works perfectly without any of the hum issues. I'm really pleased that I have a working Blue Baby Bottle as I think this mic is excellent value and sounds really good without the fizzy exaggerated high frequencies. I n...

Hugh pointed out why I need a mixer, and he's right, but I'd ditch it at the drop of a hat if I could find an interface with the requirements I need. Didn't this get discussed before? A digital mixer would give you so many options. You simply have to get used to a slightly different way of working ...

I remember the review of that Roland Tea and I seriously wanted one!

Certainly got the connectivity but might prove confusing to use in practice? But then I could never get to grips with the routing software in my Mk1 8i6!

Hugh pointed out why I need a mixer, and he's right, but I'd ditch it at the drop of a hat if I could find an interface with the requirements I need. Easy to use, enough inputs, at the very least 16, ideally more, FX sends, gain knobs on the front panel, and a decent hardware/computer "blend&q...

Hi all, Ive been toying with a workaround for latency while recording/playback. Boss ME-90 guitar modeler, Geddy Lee Sans Amp preamp, Behringer UMC 1820 interface, Behringer Euro 1602 line mixer, Mackie Speakers, and a fast pc. First part of the chain is using a Lehle P split to have two live guita...

Yeah! Ganging up on the old fella!

I don't think it's a stretch at all. It's just "the modern way" — all the functionality of a hardware mixer plus much more besides, but done via dsp in the interface and controlled on-screen or via remote physical surfaces as required. I'm not 'anti-mixer' at all. They can be the best opt...

MixControl from Focusrite does the same, as does the Tascam software. But I'm guessing Dave is talking about having the physical controls. Yes. AS WELL THEY KNOW! Honestly didn't. But if you had said physical controls, then I would have mentioned that you can assign physical controls to TotalMix. M...

Any RME interface with TotalMix.

And no doubt other AIs that arrive with supporting software.

You both know very well that is not what I meant.

Dave.

All the OP wants is to combine multiple sources, he’s probably going to expand his stuff later, so a bigger interface makes sense. I only use a mixer because I’ve got so much stuff. Maybe OP will or won't need a bigger AI in the future, that does not take away from getting a mixer now as a valid al...

Money. Why spend money on a mixer when you could buy an interface with more inputs. Beer into water friend Arpangel... Cheaper, has pan, EQ, FX send at least on each channel. Find me an AI with THEM fekkers! Each channel will have its own gain pot, maybe two so varying input levels can be trimmed. ...

One difference between Music Tribe and Focusrite PLC is that Music Tribe is a private company, and Focusrite is a public company, i.e. Focusrite has shareholders. The point being?

As Elf says, this problem crops up a lot, especially with keyboardists and so I am going to ask my stock question. "will you (can you) play all three sources at the same time*? If not then the mixer idea has merit. A modest example would allow the connection of all three devices, in stereo if w...
