Mackie Profx8 or 12

[Singsation]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has used or has any feed back on the above mixer, can't get it here yet as the company who builds them for Mackie went bust bust so you guys in the states got the 1st batch, a couple of reviews state a problem with the usb recording and noise but as i don't use this function it would not be a problem. I have used the Dfx from mackie but the lack of headphone plug is a problem and the effects are a bit sharp. The CFX is good although the effects again i find a bit bright and only two stereo input channels. I have just bought a Bose L11 with the ToneMatch for my smaller venues, but just cannot get on with it, turning knobs and adjusting the sound is a major feat and the effects are very limited, no nice warm sound from this unit, so I want a small mixer to use instead and one with faders, the Mackie looks to fit the bill.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urnchemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
