A high-resolution mixer that lets you monitor and record your outboard gear direct to DAW via USB 2.0.

The MultiMix 8 USB 2.0 is a compact tabletop mixer providing USB 2.0 technology for ultra-fast, low-latency, 24 bit/44.1 96kHz (with high-end A/D and D/A conversion) multichannel audio recording straight to your computer. Designed with low-noise analog electronics, it lets users take advantage of 100 studio-grade 28-bit digital effects. Whether used for mobile or studio recording, the MultiMix 8 mixing console makes recording high-quality audio to your computer fast and easy. Bundled with award-winning Cubase LE software for optimal results.

The MultiMix USB 2.0 8-channel mixer provides four high-gain mic/line (XLR and 1/4" balanced) inputs with phantom power, 2 stereo balanced 1/4" (4 total) line inputs, an Aux send that can send to either onboard or external effects, and a stereo Aux return. There is also an RCA stereo 2-Track input and output.

It sends 10 signals via USB 2.0: each of the eight input tracks, plus the left and right channels of the final stereo mix. You can record all eight inputs plus the main mix, which can be recorded with effects.

If you want to bring external audio sources into a recording or live mix, you can do it in several different ways. Using the 2-Track In (RCA), you can add a tape deck, ADAT, CD player or other source to the mix. The 2-Track In also can be used to entertain the audience with a CD as the band is setting up for a live show. The Aux Returns can be used as additional audio inputs when you are not using them for effects.

This is an excelent product. DO NOT BUY IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON USING IT WITH A 64 BIT OS. No drivers exist for 64 bits OS only 32 bit drivers exist. Other than that it's an very compact but powerful piece of equipment.

Perfect for me

The Alesis MultiMix 8 USB 2.0 8-Channel Mixer is perfect for me. I have a home studio. I play guitar, bass and keys. I use a drum machine or loops for beats. I use ACID Pro 6 to record on my computer.

My old set up had an analog mixer feeding into a MBOX that fed into the computer. The Alesis MultiMix 8 USB 2.0 8-Channel Mixer streamlined everything for me. I saved a ton of desk space and upgraded the quality of my recordings by eliminating the old mixer and MBOX.

The Alesis MultiMix 8 USB 2.0 8-Channel Mixer is also really easy to use, while not limiting my I/O options. This mixer is great!

I have used this board for recording and it has been great because I can plug it into computers that are not nearly as fast as mine and I can still make quality recordings. This board is great for those musicians who do not have 1000 dollars to spend on computer stuff and software. I also bought a pistol case for it and it fits wonderfully in it with room for patch cords and the power supply.

This thing is amazing. The built in preamps are great. Amazing quality, and you can record all 8 tracks at a time, 10 if you also record the mix. Good for drums, because you can easily use a graphic eq with each track. The software included is great. The built in effects are great and amazingly real.
