Soundcraft Ui24R Rack Mount 24-Channel Digital Mixer
"The soundcraft has great warm-sounding Studer pres, 20 XLRs, the effects are by reputable companies, and the feedback suppression is a great option no one else seems to have."
- Kyle in Iowa Falls, IA
"This thing is just so well thought out! Simple navigation details like swiping to get all your channels and not being locked to 8 channels a page are huge. I was skeptical about a web page GUI, but it's amazingly responsive."
- Jesse
"I’m having a great time with the Ui24r 2.0. You can set it up for the “Set It & Forget Mix” hands off while playing. I love that cause I play bass and sing."
- Lenny in Huron, OH

Mackie ProFX6v3 Professional USB Mixer, 6-Channel

- Victor in Princeton, NJ
"Mixer w/FX, quality preamps, USB interface, etc. Excellent for crystal clear home recordings. It's like a tricked out Mackie Producer 2-2 USB interface with an external power supply."
- Wayne in Austin, TX
" It's also perfect for laying down tracks in your DAW or used as a small DJ mixer, as you can monitor recorded and live tracks."
