So I am on musicians fiend looking at mixers to use with my MX400 
when it dawned upon me' "Hey there is an old 16 track master sumthing 
up in my attic!!" 

So after spending a hour of painstakingly making my way thru the 
jungle that is my attic...I see it in the sunlight no less, covered 
in a an old sheet.

Wrastling it down the creaky ladder by my self was no easy task.

It is an old Studiomaster 16-4-2 from the mid to late 80's with 5knob 
sweep british EQ's....=)

It matches my DotCom!!!!! nice dark stained wood sides 3 auxsends...=)

I bought it in the early 90's at a pawn shop for $200bucks to run a 
small punkclubs PA.........it was never used in the club and lived in 
my parents attic for 8years till I moved up here to the NW in 
2000....and even then it was one of those, "Just put that damned 
thing back in the attic" well here it is 08 and i have had it 16yrs 
and only checked it out for a couple of hours back in the club.


I must say I love it... lots of routing set ups, its a abit large but 
VERY musical. real warm, it does need to be cleaned....but sounds 
great for 16 years in an attic.

Maybe its just me but it makes me smile....yeah I can go buy a nice 
compact rackable mixer in a nice flight case.........but this has 
charm and presence, and now a new home.

LOL

anyone else have a big old analog mixer that they use?

Don't forget the dotcom modular... those things aren't
precisely small.


I have two Mackie 1202 VLZ (12-channel compact mixers)
myself, linked (along with my soundcard's output) with
a Mackie MixerMixer (those things are genious). I have
my studio divided in two sets, with one mixer each. In
one of them, I have the dotcom, ESQ-1, Korg ES-1, and
my new Mochika synth/sequencer. The other set has the
Nord G2, Waldorf XT, Korg MS2000R, Korg ER-1, Emu
MP-7, and Boss DR-770. I usually work on one set or
the other, but thanks to the mixermixer I can easily
use gear on both sets and/or softsynths.

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.
