USB & Bus Mixers!

First topic message reminder :

Which type of mixer is better? USB or bus mixers? A USB mixer is connected to the computer, routing the audio from the computer back into the mixer by simply selecting the 2 Track To USB, etc. With a bus mixer, the audio is sent through a TRS Cable or a RCA Cable. TRS cables have a quarter inch end which plugs into the bus mixer, and a 3.55 end that plugs into your soundcard on your mixer. The TRS function will also work with a USB mixer if you do not route the audio via the USB cable. I currently use a Alesis Multimix 8 USB FX which sells for $149 USD. It has built in phantom power which is needed for condenser microphones, 4 RCA inputs, And 8 channels, as well as on-board effects. I will not go over all the features on this mixer in this post! Hope this helps, and happy broadcasting!

i have now fully went to USB and i have to say that yes i can still use all my Analog stuff with it since it still has analog inputs with the additional USB channel for the computer and i do have to say it is a lot easier now then having just Analog i will never go back to full analog again unless i have issues with the new board i got currently and i have to say i'm rather happy with it and used it on the first couple of shows already and it sounds crisp and clear then the old one did
