what kind of mixer do you use

[cableguy]

Hey Lonman what model do you use with Makie?

I have a Vocopro, it is one of the first they made, I am looking for a new one. I do hear Mackie one of the top line manunaftures. Any suggestions on models? Something that would work well with Karaoke...

I have been playing for thirty years, had Mackie, Tapco, Behringer, Peavey, EV, Shure, Etc.. I now use a Yamaha Mg12 with built in effects. So easy to use, i like the slide volume control versus the knob. Built in effects are great. I have used this mixer with an array of EV SX300 with subs and now with Bose L1 Systems. Best, cleanest sound i have ever used or heard. Mackie would be my second choice, but the knobs makes volume fine tuning on the go a little tougher.

Right now I use a CFX12 but have a 1642-VLZiii on order. But really if you are doing both dj & karaoke I would keep 2 separate mixers - 1 for dj & 1 for karaoke - 2 different forms of entertainment & other than an Allen & Heath Xone 464 that is virtually a great dj board & a KILLER 4 channel live mixer as well (but for a $1500 price), I have never seen a really good combo mixer that I personally thought sounded good, just my opinion, but I am very picky about the sound.
The little Yamaha mentioned is pretty good as well.

I was noticing Yamaha had a nice looking mixer that you could directly plug via usb your computer directly into it. Is anyone doing that yet?? I use Echo I DJ card, and great, but maybe overkill, is nice i can run DJ software and Hoster from PC and two independent sound ports, through one set of RCA cords to 1/4" into mixer, looking to add second laptop and KJ to business though, so ideas are great.

Thanks,
Randy

i have peavy, mackie, behringer, pioneer.
but i like my vocopro 7000 best.
sweet little board, high gain on mic channels, and all the video on board.
they work great. add a good eq and your set. Bob
