Re: Analog Mixing Boards

2008-05-29 by Mark Rauch

Howdy,

 YEP! I've got a Roland 24 channel line mixer into a 16 channel 
Peavey Mark II into a 16 channel Peavey Mark  IV into a Berhringer 32 
channel 3282, into a Roland VS2480CD. I just need to learn how to use 
the VS. But I've got a Fostex B-16 reel to reel for recording until I 
do learn it.
