Teenage Engineering TX-6 Mixer : Thoughts & Review After the First Few Hours

[@jacobthewinner]

Just like a lot of other gear I see here on The internet, I and completely content with knowing I may never own or even touch a tx-… but I can still enjoy it through the internet!

[@soffter]

if you get a chance you should def hold one of these, haha, it's a sure fire way to know if you'd like it. thanks for watchin !

[@vonaudio5435]

guys. If it's not something you can use to make money - it's not for you. For the people that can use this to make money, it's absolutely the right tool, and it's the easiest to carry around tool. If it's out of your price range for simply having fun, buy something else.

[@boombap08]

Thanks for this, you brought up a lot of good points. Bluebox seems to be the way to go with more features and like half the price…

[@zero.the.prototype]

Hi. Thanks for the video chum. It took me to a good place. I appreciate your efforts, reviews, and especially tuts, Mcgee.

[@robertsyrett1992]

I would love to see how resistant the TX-6 mixer is being smashed with a claw hammer... in slow motion.

[@Toeatasandwich]

DOPE fenestrations, dude!

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

Hi dude! Loved the video and appreciate your thoughts on this🤟🏻

[@soffter]

Hey thanks man! I’ve watched a ton of your vids ✨

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

@@soffter I’m flattered! Huge fan of your videos on Perfect Circuit! Glad I found your channel 🤟🏻 keep up the fun vids bro! See you soon🔥

[@oliverkollar9143]

GREAT review. Really enjoying your videos......the THC is strong in this one.......This Is The Way.

[@tumest]

Excellent review. I’m foolish enough to have one too and you are bang on, one of the most incredible objects I have ever held in my hand, also a kind of unusable pain in the ass. I ‘spose they’re making it abundantly clear that they are first and foremost a design company and design contractor and in that capacity they are second to none. But hoo boy they haven’t put something out that wasn’t either head scratching or profoundly functionally compromised in one way or another for… several years at this point.

[@soffter]

"head scratching" is the perfect 2-word review of teenage engineering's output But i hope you can still manage to have some fun with it! or at the very least make a lateral swap for something that makes you smile even more !

[@NathanielValdivia]

Good design is not only aesthetics. Its a balance between form, usability and function. This thing is just form.

[@PFSTR]

I don't have anything mean to say, but if I did I would feed your algorithm so dang hard.

[@MichaalHell]

I really like mine.. but I’m not set to use the EQ and filter as performance tools.. so in that sense the size is ok for me, since the faders and mutes feel great.. But this is NOT a performance mixer. If you set and forget the EQ and Filters then I think you’re all good!

[@sonicultura]

Hi man! I think with stop, mutes FX 2 etc it’s a performance mixer! I normally don’t EQ on any mixer as performance either the filter on a mixer. I normally filter on the source.

[@MichaalHell]

@@sonicultura I think the filter are great for when you want to seperate frequencies.. my Nord lead has this issue where my patches gets so lively that they’re all over the place so then using the filter to hone in the frequencies really tidys up the mix.. But regarding the fx, those are very performance freindly

[@JosephFerraroDesign]

It’s a shame this wasn’t built just slightly larger for better stability, knob and slider utility, and cable generalization, and maybe available in a darker color scheme. Premium mixers in small form factor are super short supply and this could’ve bridged that gap. It’s not cheap, but for something of this complexity I wouldn’t expect it to be. Unfortunate they didn’t leave this one in the oven a little longer.

[@soffter]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's an odd market! like the KMI mixer is also very very cool and fully featured... has odd gel controls? lmao. 1010 Bluebox? dope as heck! ...tiny touchscreen and you need adapter cables? I've got my fingers crossed someone will come around and nail it soon here

[@BoxLab24]

Bluebox is half the price you can record on it and it's got good reverb delay and compressor

[@XiXora]

There is a perception of smaller = cheaper. I can see why people would freak out at the price. Maybe, if this was made with the bendy OP-Z plastic, it'd be half the price. Who knows. This does look possibly too small to be a delight to use.

[@ehtcom]

Considering it's made in China. I'd guess these are leaving the factory door for less than $10.00 each.

[@Softlol]

@@ehtcommade in malaysia… maybe do 1 second google search before telling lies… And no way you could ever produce this for 10$, the metal alone is probably 10$ at least lol.

[@jasonkearse9887]

you nailed it. its a fun device, but impractical for real music creation use

[@256k_]

If i had that kindof disposable money i would just get it as a fun fidget toy haha. I agree that the functionality is actually quite abundant and you do get a lot ofor your money. I dont use many devices at the same time so i dont need it.

[@gooneybird808]

I don’t know why they have to make things so small...like why couldn’t be the size of a phone which can also fit in your pocket...idk

[@nullbyt]

Nakey Jakey reviews his gear

[@soffter]

that's the nicest comment i've ever gotten on youtube, i love that guy.

[@nullbyt]

@@soffter look forward to seeing more videos from you was definitely entertaining and informative 👍:)

[@sendalunar2974]

Uhhh I would just buy an used OP1 and be happy. But this mixer? We have the bluebox

[@EaselCat]

Im going to be mad and still buy it

[@soffter]

my boss says this thing "you gotta live your own truth!" and i think that's what you gotta do, and i support that.

[@snoogllies]

People love to complain about the price of hardware even tho they have ZERO knowledge about what it costs to design and manufacture literally anything.

[@Hellseeker1]

Maximum Profit

[@SlinkiestTortoise23]

Absolutely! They are taking the fucking piss!!!

[@enjenj6655]

If price is the most notable thing about a product, then maybe they should design a better product. This isn’t the most expensive piece of music equipment so the idea its part of the conversation can’t be the only reason people bring it up. Features and usability matter. And its true, people don’t know what costs are involved in producing something but why should they? If that’s also part of the conversation then again, the product doesn’t stand strongly enough on its own. Does it have superior quality? So far based on specs, it seems that’s not the case. That alone leaves the door wide open to discuss, what else? Price.

[@Toeatasandwich]

Looks like a classic case of "great UI but HORRIBLE UX"

[@3minati]

I see how it can be useful. But not for 1400. I'll get it, in about 5 years. For 800

[@C1c4da]

so basically...this is like the supreme of mixers...Paying extra for less lol

[@SexyEarHole]

"Vegan leather" is hipster-speak for plastic.

[@soffter]

lmao. ngl i have no idea what it actually is

[@id.unknown1283]

Blah blah blah price. I have small hands and that device looks to be way too small even for me and I love mini gear. Maybe if it was a little bit bigger it wouldn't be rendered pointless by it's size.

[@easibroeasibrode6381]

Golden gadget.. that price... Troll company

[@eppbot]

I'll subscribe when you invest in some pots for your plants and stop complaining about how big your fingers are!!!

[@Kaje05]

Price aside, I feel like I would end up throwing it in the lake in frustration of trying to use this. I literally would not buy this thing if it were in the $50 range. Looks tight on instagram though 😂 sorry, don’t mean to hate, but I actually hate it, haha. Also, fuck vegan

[@SexyEarHole]

Best reply I've seen on the internet in the last 24 hours! LOL

[@ozlantern4707]

Snowden clone you are

[@soffter]

listen i prefer the term bio-mechanical-replicant

[@Screenshot1015]

So it’s totally worth 1300$ but it’s utterly useless

[@vonaudio5435]

I use it to run multiple shows without worrying about outlets and without breaking my back lugging around equipment. if it sounds useless to you, it probably will be. The people that need it know who they are. I already made my money back multiples of times, and it's a joy to use.
