Best Digital Mixer For Recording Studio 2018

[3.5 lb] This was great saver for using carrying my digital recording mixer

[7.1 lb (3.2 kg)] This is the latest generation of digital mixer, but the recording only to 24 bits 48k max. But overall the recording is good I would recommend to anyone

[70 Ohms] I have a home recording studio and there is a synth (Korg 01/WFD from the 1990’s) that always gives me a slight hum noise. The humming is faintly low but enough to bother me, especially if I’m recording; for example, if I’m just playing the piano nice and mellow, instead of an entire sequencer with multi tracks in a song, I can still hear that hum. I have a small Mackie mixer, nothing fancy, but it’s very sonically clean as far as audio output. Connecting the XIT-600 in the mixer’s XLR output solved that annoyance on that particular scenario and now that hum background noise is gone and took care of 1 channel. I only have one of these. Now I need to get a second XIT-600 as I record in Stereo. I also recorded / tested the output audio from my mixer to a Tascam DR100 MKII and a professional field recorder such as the Sound Devices Mix Pre-6, which is an unit that is utilized by many boom operators to record audio in many movies. If you deal with more pronounced hum or ground looping issues, since I can’t reproduce that kind of nightmare in my studio, I can’t comment on that.  Like I said, for reasonable, typical humming issues, the XIT-600 will do just fine. But loud humming, bad cables or what have you, it could be anything causing that hum.  If the XIT-600 doesn't solve the problem, you might have to get something bigger and more expensive perhaps. This one worked for my needs. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review].

[< 0.005% ] I bought this to have as a small bedroom/studio mixer and recording to my PC. It has enough inputs for my needs, and a small footprint. Knobs are plastic, so just be careful, but I won't be moving it from place to place so I think it will be fine for my needs. Effects do what they say, although not a rack of course. I find them fine though.

[Metal] I needed a new mixer for permanent installation at my church. A friend of mine with extensive experience in the recording industry recommended the Mackie VLZ4 series for their build quality and design for live recording as opposed to studio recording (previous mixer was for studio recording). I went with the 32-channel model so that I could have everything plugged in at the same time: the 16-channel snake that runs to front of house, 4 wireless mics, 4 ceiling mics, and 2 computers. We have 4 mono channels leftover for future growth. I love that this board has everything I need (post-fader aux sends, EQ, compressors) and very little of what I don't need (FX). The sound quality is fantastic - very rich and warm natural sound. Many people commented to me about how big the thing is, but we had the space for it and the 24-channel model wasn't big enough for my needs.
