Not much shielding going on with the mini-jack input. Nice touch with being able to switch off the mini-jack input (see below)Ĭons: I mean, for the price, not really any concerns (much better build quality than the Behringer stuff), not the greatest sound in the world though. There’s even full +48V phantom power onboard for your condenser mics. Plug any standard microphones you have on hand into channels one and two. Pros: plenty of connectivity, small size, 'just works' like all of Alesis's stuff (I have also have a compact keyboard MIDI controller of theirs), seems quite rugged. The Alesis MultiMix 4 USB FX packs digital effects and USB connectivity into a compact mixer you can use for a wide range of applications, from desktop mixing to mobile recording. This portable mixer is packed with features so you can mix an outstanding performance anywhere, making it the ideal addition to any home studio, smaller live performances, portable podcast applications, and even video editing and larger production studio environments. I can control the signal volume so I get a nice mix between track and vocal take too. The MultiMix 4 USB FX from Alesis is a compact, four-channel desktop mixer with a USB digital audio interface and built-in effects. It works! For recording foldback with the two outs from the pre-amp I can hear the exact signal going in to the DAW. I mention this because it took me ages to work this out on the web as I didn't know if the pre-amps dual outputs were mutually exclusive. Buy Alesis MultiMix 4 USB FX 4-Channel Mixer and USB Audio Interface featuring XLR Microphone and 1/4' Line Inputs, 1/4' Hi-Z Input, Stereo 1/4' Outputs, 16-Bit / 48 kHz Resolution USB Interface, 15 Integrated DSP Effects, 2-Band Channel EQ, Multicolor LED Metering, 1/4' Headphone Output, Plug and Play on Mac and Windows, Includes Pro Tools First. I bought this as a monitoring system for recording vocals (or whatever) through a pre-amp with two outs so one goes to the little desk (which I can add reverb to the signal with too, without recording it) and the other to my audio interface.
