Will be used for "Busking", tenor sax and voice (2 mics) over karaoke background from a mp3 playlist, will this suit the purpose?

Absolutely, it sounds loud enough outside without any distortion. I haven't connected anything else but my Ipod. I listen to jazz and I am pleased with the sound.

This is a sub-par system. It may very well be worthless. Ad I said and now re-capping..."It worked all of 2wksthen I got another one but with so-called 800 watts, and was pretty much the same junk. I sent it back as well."

I never used it like that but I assume it would work. You would need to experiment with it and work out how to set it up for the distance of the sound you are trying to capture, over modulation could be a problem if to close to source at a given setting.

I don't know. I used for recording Webinars and when a friend of mine heard the clarity, he ordered one for himself. I would think it would depend on the software you are using and how you are using it. It may pick up the music you are playing if you are adding a vocal.

I use this entirely for instrumental (guitar) amplification, but with two channels, it allows vocals along with the instrument. It's certainly powerful enough to blend with an instrumental quartet, but whether you like the quality of output without further pre-amp manipulation is another matter. Your satisfaction would likely depend on choice of mic and pre-amp. I bought it for acoustic guitar and am very pleased.

I would think, from my view and experience, that it would work fine for busking....hope it works as well for you as it has for me. One band I play in has a member that plays bass and guitar alternately though the amp while at an outside pub (which requires a bit of punch by itself) but this is vacation land at the outside patrons are a bit noisy and it seems to work fine. Don't know that I'd trust it to work where the crowd was larger or noisier. I wish I could give you a better gauge...but that's about as good as I can come to telling you from personal use how it's worked.

I would suggest this one for recording in a pub but in the event it fails for that purpose then make sure you can return it right back like I was able to. I had high hopes for this kit but it picked up too many background noises too well for my purpose. There is a risk you could pick up too many background noises in a noisy pub as well.

This is more for recordings where you keep your mouth really close to the mic. If you have quiet a few people around and sit it in the middle and just chat, it would work but the voices would sound pretty distant and its going to pick up all the noises in the background of the pub.

I think it works quite well for singers. In fact, our band's singer used this exclusively for quite awhile. We even used it at some small venues (bars) with no problems. It has a built-in EQ to get the right vocal tone and many of the effects are intended for vocal use as well. The unit has several inputs, so it would probably be great for a singer/songwriter type that wants to perform with an amplified instrument like a guitar or keyboard. The first input is intended for a dynamic mic and has an XLR input. The others are quarter inch.

I think the limitations would only exist in audacity, if they exist at all. I use mine to simultaneously record using 4 drum mics, and it works like a charm. Good luck on the podcast!

Yes, it can be used to mix sound from a karaoke player and mic. It will not lift vocals from a CD track, however.

I just plug my mics into my karaoke player.I would say yes in answer to your question

Absolutely. No problem. Use either the provided mics or use the inputs for a preferred mic and you're good. Good luck, have fun.

It depends on two things - 1: what kind of mics you have and 2: if you need all of the audio recorded into separate channels on the computer. If you have 6 mics that are XLR or need phantom power, then this will not suit your needs - this can only power 4 XLR mics. (If you have what are called dynamic mics with 1/4" plugs - or self powered condensor mics that can use 1/4" jacks - then you are fine). For the second part (about separate channels) it really depends what you want to be able to do. The USB part of this mixer records just two separate channels into the computer - the same as the left and right main output of the mixer. So if you were to use 6 mics you would have them all recorded, but all together. (Thus, if someone was too quiet, you could not just turn them up after the fact.) You can use the panning to get two completely separate tracks, but that's clearly not enough for what you're trying to do. If you want to record all 6 tracks independently you will need something more expensive. I hope this helps!

I've been using it for a few months now. It's MUCH better suited to instruments than voice. I bought it to record my radio show and podcast, but it picks up so much ambient noise, it's just not meant for it. But it's good quality for music.

Need a little more info.. for example, the way the mics are set up, it's great for conversations. For talks, if the mic is far away it won't do you much good, but the plug-ins it has will be compatible with most if not all sound boards out there. So, I'd say it's worth it only if 1) you will be close, and/or 2) you need the XLR or phono inputs.

Wireless microphones can be use on this player for having fun at party only. As for serious singing, you better connect the wireless microphone to a separate amplifier. The player sound quality for karaoke disk is OK but for microphone, it is just ordinary at best.

Hello john, this is good for some good music. It depends on your intended use really. Its not meant for parties, but background music and alone music is great. Also look at the db sensativity on your speakers. Some speakers will sound louder at same volume then others. Cheers!
