DCstudio10 has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Exclamation What kind of relieable 6 or 4 Channel mixer can I buy For Cheap

I need to get a 6 or 4 channel mixer. I will be playing my guitar and singing at local coffeyshops. I will plug it in thru a Boss GT-10 and a Boss RC-20XL Loop Station Also a Shure Beta 58A. I will aslo have an effect used , it will be a Lexon MX20 dule reverb Effects Prosseser. I looked for some but need input from pros like your selfs.

THANK YOU

P.S. My budget is about $0-100

P.S.S I Spent some Hours looking at some i found:
---Mackie 402-VLZ3 4-Ch. Compact Recording/SR Mixer(I would have hiss at the top off my list)
--Peavey PV6 Compact 6 Channel Mixer
-Alesis MultiMix 6FX 6-Channel Mixer with Effects
( I will add more when I find some)

P.S.S.S I will be going to Guitar center soon to check out what you guys showed me i will go on Monday the July 6th Of 2009.

You can get good or cheap. Please pick one. Sorry It's kind of a joke but there isn't anything reliable in that price range. Double it to $200 and we are talking.

If you are looking for reliability, stay away from Behringer. Performs as good as the next mixer in it's price range, but built with cheap parts that break. Spend a little more for a better name and it will last.
You can save a little money if you don;t need it to have USB out or Firewire for recording. I think you can easily get 6 channels for $150, just shop around and look for used, just no Behringer.

HELP ME PLEASE I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good and cheap are not going to happen
buy what you can afford and live with it

save up till you can afford something good

rent one

borrow one

make it yourself

good fast cheap is the govt mantra
they provide none of the above

good soon cheap risk functionality
you can have any one you want
you may even be able to get cheap and soon
with some functionality but your good and risk will be
out of sight


guitar center is expensive
has poor selection

even their sales are almost list price - after the "discount"
tried to sell me a repack at full price on a sale
even 15% off was still way more than many places price for new unopened gear

Peavey PV8 Mixer can be purchased on-line for less than $150
Yamaha - MG Series 10-Channel Mixer is pretty cheap too.
Tapco mixers are reasonably priced.

One thing to watch for is most low end 6 channel mixers actually have only 2-4 mic inputs and the remaining channels are line level inputs.

In some cases you need to get a 8, 10 or 12 channel to actually get 6 mic inputs.

Audio Recording | Home Digital Music Production, Studios, Software

Yamaha is good quality.
If a couple of your devices have line outs and don;t need a preamp, this will be good to go
