Yo.... I read from a well known team of dj's that you can just use this device for mixing down your vocals and mastering. is this true?

If it were a live mix you could certainly make the vocals pop more by manipulating the EQ and volume correctly but as far as a proper mix down from a producers standpoint this would definitely not be recomended.

it has lots of effects and all work just as listed, I am using it for live vocals and recording mixed output. I have not yet used that software yet. I may need to experiment with the software before answering your questions further. You should check behringer website for more options, behringer has vast collection of mixers for all kind of mixing. I will try to answer your questions soon.

It would probably be overkill for a podcast, unless you're hosting a 5-piece band as part of your show. This mixer is really for full-band live performance. If you're looking for something to mix voice and some other sounds your best bet would be something with many fewer channels.

As far as I know, if your song is mixed down and you have created a master file, all you do is press the "mixdown/master button and you are ready to go - if you have a problem, return the unit. I have no issues with this at all.. Good luck

Usually they come with features for DJs but yes you can use for home audio people use it like that.

Absolutely. I use this as my quiet practice rig through headphones and it's fantastic. I also use it plugged into a line level input on my mixer through speakers and it works great. I've been very impressed with the sounds I'm getting and the (relatively) well-done interface.

You can use this in the studio as well as live.. but honestly, with the amount of software available, you have way better options for studio purposes. For live its ok.. but not "great." Hope this helps.

You can of course capture to separate tracks for each input. I'm not even sure if you could capture all inputs and mix them to stereo. Unless you record to MP3 or something.

You will only be able to record a mix of your tracks if you are using the djuiced software. You will not be able see the mix in your music files (In computer not software)

Thank you all for the response, I am seriously considering getting a couple of these for my mobile DJ setup. Your help is greatly appreciated!

I record with protools, and Master with sound forge.. But I find myself recording almost everything I do live, with this.. Set the limiter to auto... Absolutely never clips or crackles.. then upload to computer and edit with a Mastering program.. All the Frequencies are there... It records great bass, mids, and trebles.. if you know how to eq and bring them out with plug ins.. I owned and used it for a year before I realized (not spreading the mics open / AB ) actually records better,, More similar tracks and easy to mix... I can rip down, chop, mix a complete band practice, and burn it on a CD in about an hour... Batteries Last Forever also... BEST VALUE HERE... I record with protools, and Master with sound forge..

It has some nice features for small situations like you're describing. Also does nicely as a mixer for a starter studio. This model may fit your budget, but I'd also look at the 14ZED60FX. 4 XLR inputs may seem like a lot. On my first outing with this I used every XLR, and I was sure 4 was *more* than I needed. This is a terrific mixer - lots of features and intentional quality.

Hi, this unit does not "mix" the inputs via the USB input and it does not do so via the headphone/line outs. You can blend the two input sources in your recording software if it has the ability to select the input source from either left or right on each track. If your software records both tracks at once (stereo) you can still blend them using the balance control.More succinctly, you can't mix or blend these two inputs to one discreet channel either left or right from the device itself. This would be something you would do within your recording software.

I have used this to add effects to prerecorded music but it is too noisy to really add anything when I watch movies or listen to playback recordings. However, it is OK for live use on the vocal channel if used sparingly. I would not recommend this to add effects to prerecorded music. There are better options like DJ gear to do that job.

You can use it as an audio interface, but you can't use it as a controller. It'll mix everything coming into the mixer down to a stereo mix and send that through the usb interface.

Ok, Pete W. Here's the low down info. That you're looking for. I bought a Hercules dj control instinct a couple of weeks back, but it was much smaller than it appeared in the original image. I bought it not to be a dj though, the primary reason that I got it for was as a basic remixes to ad some Flava to my production, because it's very limited in features and is very small. In my opinion, if it's djing that you want to do professionally, then spend that extra bucks and get one of the Pioneer ddj series that suits your purpose best and give yourself the best chance of making it. Hope this was helpful! Ok, Pete W. Here's the low down info. That you're looking for.

That I could not even begin to explain, you would be connecting a mixer to another mixer, though I will say this much as to the Mix800, don't count on the voice canceler working, I have tried to use it a number of times to no avail, as to the Mix800 itself, not satisfied with it at all, right now I am looking to replace it, might cost little more, but it will be worth it to me.
