I Bought a New Mixer

[bitflipper]

Some of you older guys might remember ordering X-Ray Specs from the back of a comic book...remember how you'd check the mailbox every day but it took so long to arrive that by the time it got there you'd forgotten ordering it?

Well, that's how I'm feeling right now. After much research and deliberation, I bit the bullet and ordered this fancy little digital mixer. Unfortunately, it's back ordered and Sweetwater will only say it'll be "a few months".

9" touch screen. 18 inputs, 8 aux outs, parametric EQ, compressors and gates on every channel and every output. 8 reverbs, 4 delays, plus the usual chorus, etc. Patch anything to anything. DAW controls and full MIDI control. Motorized faders, 200 scenes, Dante-ready should I ever need it. All in a tiny (12.6" x 18") package, same size as the little MG12UX analog mixer I'm using now.

Yeh, the whole thing's overkill but hey, I'm old - and well, like they say, you can't take it with you. So f*k it, I'm gonna enjoy my golden years with awesome toys.

I'm still using this one... ?

*Wonders what happened to the X-Ray specs I bought back in the 70's...* ?

Looks like there's noting on channel juan. Prolly my bazz track. Typical.

Hearing Huey Lewis singing "I want a new drug" in my head. (That, and a bit of tinnitus, but that's a story for a different thread...)

Nice mixer.

Does it come with a talent plug-in?

Asking for a friend.

I think that's an add-on, also back-ordered with estimated availability in 2039, or after the global AI takeover, whichever comes first.

That looks good Bit. Comp and gate every channel?!! Damn... must be nice!! LOL.

Let us know  when it gets there.
