The new Mackie XDR preamps do make a difference in how the whole board sounds. Both the XLR mic inputs AND the 1/4" bal/unbal inputs go through the same preamps. Signal entering the 1/4" inputs is attenuated then run through the preamps, then into the channel strips. I just replaced my 1604's with the VLZ-PRO and the new version does sound better to me.

The way to get signal into the Mackies without going through the preamps is to go into the inserts, by inserting the jack one click. I don't know why anyone would want to do that though, because the new Mackies are very clean sounding using the XDR preamps.

Question for digital mixer users,

I am about to buy a new mixer, but I am not sure wheter to buy a analog or a digital one. The digital mixers in my budget all have almost no rotary knobs for eq, so how do you guys do that? With shift buttons? Does that work convenient? I use eq as a creative part of my music...I would be glad to hear about your experiences..Thanks!

most important:
1. channel mutes DON'T make audible clicks -

2. good mid eq if poss

3. enuff out's to drive your amp, and any required routing to the pc to for example record a stereo synth part as a loop with some added outboard fx (stereo) added & recorded with the synth as part of the whole 'patch/sound'

see MIXERS & MIXING page for what sorta pc recording you can acheive and how with mixers of 2 & 3 aux sends and with and without subgroups etc - check it - in the MIXER section
