@StaavAutumn7 ай бұрын
One use case that you forgot to mention that can help people decide is if you want to have a bunch of different instruments and inputs, but you don't need to record them all at the same time. Buying a mixer, plugging everything in and then recording. What you need is easier and cheaper than buying a udio interface with lots of inputs. I think in the reality an audio interface with lots of inputs is helpful when you're trying to record multitracks simultaneously for multiple instruments. If you're doing what at a time recording but just wants everything plugged in so you don't have to plug in and out. Then a mixer works fine

4:37 Mixers with a built in audio interface like the MG10XU here are analog mixers with a small built in section for the audio interface section and the last stereo channel is enabled from a switch that either keeps the mixer 100% analog or the last stereo input switching to the audio interface part. So mixers are large because +90% of the size is for the analog mixer part. Not just knobs.

What if I would need to record multiple instruments (not live and one at a time) but don't want to connect/ unplug each time from the two channel desktop models, would a mixer with usb interface be the better way to go? And as far as scratch tracks, would a recordable mixer be preferable and then download the best tracks out to the DAW for further refinement? Or, is that idea a long way to go to basically get ideas out to a DAW. What I'm thinking about is the workflow and how composing music is bit stifling when working with a DAW.

Recommend for doing drum covers? (I only want to 1 mic possibly 2 mic my drums) I’m familiar with mixers but not good with DAW just learning. Sounds like the mixer is the controls on the DAW? Whereas with the interface you control all the eq and such on the DAW (except the gain) what I am seeing is that there are average mixers are cheaper than an average interface. So I’m leaning toward mixer bc I’m more familiar and they seem cheaper, just not as portable. Thoughts for drum recording and doing covers with them?

Because I love recording my live sessions, and in my case with the DAW I assign an effect to a guitar, and as the Mackie in interface mode does not add its effects (voice effects), I have to connect my guitar to my Focusrite and my microphone to the Mackie in standard mode (since in standard mode the two analog outputs of the 6V+ output the same sound and are not separate).
