Re: question about mixing boards

I'm a big Mackie Fan. They have very nice Mic Preamps on their boards. Very quiet. I would not go with a Behringer, only because Mackie sued them and lost. Again, I'm a Big Mackie fan.

As far as busses go, You don't really need to have 8. Lets say you have a 16 channel mixer with 4 busses. 1-7 mics are drums and sent to buss 1. mic 8 is bass, sent to buss 2. mic 9 is lead vocals sent to buss 3 and mic 10 is lead strings sent to buss 4. then all the busses are sent to left right out. very simple. Just repeat the process until all the bands recorded.

Check out the makcie 1604VLZ 16 mic in's and 4 busses. Very nice piece for small home recording stuff. Mackie gives you lots of options on their mixers, thats why they are so versital.
