Feature:
um a no

Quality:
I like the design and its built pretty stable I think it will last a couple of years and if not atleast it comes with a warranty

Value:
Good price

Desirability:
It look sexy enough to go in my home studio, nice style, and colorful knobs it looks good.

Sound:
The Alesis Multimix 12 sounds great, it also comes with digital output. You could hook monitors straight into this bad baby and as far as the pre amps, great sound coming from the mic preamps I give the sound a 9 out 10

Support:
Don't need it, whenever I got stuck I just check out the alesis website and It the support pages solved my problems!

Overall:
I think I'll be satified even when I make it into the industries

Feature:
Check out the specs - for the price, the features are excellent!

Quality:
Looks / feels solid

Value:
Great features, at a very reasonable price (Yes, it's made in Taiwan)

Desirability:
Size, design, features - for a (mid-sized) home studio you really don't need more!

Sound:
Sound has great presence / depth in the Room throughout low- to high end sound spectrum; effects are usual Alesis quality; lines / input are very silent.

Support:
n/a

Overall:
This is the best value-for-money small mixer I've seen in a long time; I looked for something to replace my old Behringer Eurorack in my home studio & this beats it hands down.

Feature:
Cubase LE works for me.

Quality:
No concerns.

Value:
A bargain.

Desirability:
Very nice.

Sound:
Still getting acquainted with it, but it amazes me the quality of sound you can produce for so little $$$.

Ease of Use:
Pretty intuitive for recording to Cubase via USB.

Overall:
Perfect for a hobbyist like me. What I need: 1. Reasonable multi track recording. 2. Usable as live mixer to accomodate rehearsals. 3. Easy to use. 4. USB interface so as not to mess with sound cards, etc. As a PC recording interface, this thing is nearly as "plug and play" as it gets. Everything you need, aside from instruments/mics, is in the box. The Cubase software is more than sufficient and not too complicated. A great bargain for an uncomplicated pc recording set up.

Feature:
for the price the features are fantasic, the effects are a very nice touch and hold up better than independant units I have bought

Quality:
I would say very good quality, all the faders have a the right amount of resistance although the EQ knobs could have been a bit less stiff

Value:
This is a really really good product for the price you pay, excellent for live performances or home studio use

Desirability:
Well no real need for too much sexyness here but it is very nicely laid out, looks good in any setting

Sound:
The sound stright through the mix is excellent, with a high quality condenser mic this thing is at the top of it's game...however the sound through the USB cable does pick up some distortion as with almost every other USB audio device I've used and as I do cut sessions directly to my computer through this USB it can be slightly irksome to have that slight line distortion on the monitors

Overall:
It does the job and does it well at low cost, I tip my hat to this marval of Taiwanese engineering

Feature:
i like the effects, they have quite a bit of range, i've been using different mic placements with the effects and have gotten a fairly descent result.

Quality:
i've thrown it around a fair bit and it's holding up pretty strong i've only had it for a little while but i think it should last for a couple more years.

Desirability:
meh, i've seen sexier, basically it's like a cold turkey sandwich without lettice and a little bit to much mayo, nothin special, but you'll still eat it if your hungry.

Sound:
The sound wasn't bad but that was only when i went straight into my sound card, the usb puts out a constant hum when i hit record, mind you i was using cool edit pro 2 instead of cubase, and im just waiting for a new computer to come in before i load cubase on so that might be the reason, but still not the greatest sound. i got a really nice warm guitar sound pluggin straight into the mixer and with a mackie 14 band eq in front of the mixer. but other than that it wasn't the greatest.

Ease of Use:
you have to play around a fair bit to find a really good sound but when you find it's well worth the time.

Support:
haven't really deal alesis at all, can't really say anything about it.

Overall:
i probably wouldn't replace it, i would go with a firewire mixer or analog... not sure wat i like better yet... but in a few years i will know

Value:
Not worth the extra money for the USB!

Desirability:
Could have saved money w/o the USB costs.

Sound:
The sound works ok through line patch...but the USB port does nothing! The money spent on the USB version is not worth it if you have a PC...not too sure about Mac's.

Support:
Alesis is useless. They wound up admitting the USB may have been released prematurely! It may work on some computers, but not mine!
