Re: [L-OT] Cheap digital mixer vs. cheap analog mixer?

2002-05-15 by alan platten

smeet asked:

1) Is the basic sound quality of the VM3100 noticably
worse than the Mackie?  Will I regret it if it is my
ONLY mixer?

... i don't think it's necessarily worse. just that
the cr-1604's i used to have had quite a nice sound to
them (the old analogue v' digital argument).

2) I want my setup to be easy to just sit down and
quickly lay some tracks down.  Is the VM3100 going
to make that difficult, or is it simple to use for
simple stuff (plug my mic/guitar/bass in, hit record,
and go)?

... i would guess that once you've got over the
learning curve and know where everything is (i find it
a bugger after the relative ease of the yamaha 01v to
try to remember how to the simplest of tasks... but as
i said, i've never *really* used it that much as of
yet) it would become simpler to use.

i still don't know if i'm actually recommending it or
not though! it's a good mixer for the money... lot's
of functions, just difficult to use.
