MACKIE CFX12 MIXER £460.99 qty

Total: £1235.96

wot do others think? i just did this as a rough guide, any opinions welcomed here

Spend less on the mixer and more on the monitors definitely unless you really need to record lots of things at once, Mackie make great mixers but you'll probably find yourself doing most of the work on the PC which you can connect directly to the amp if you like and not use a mixer altogther. You'll probably go a lot further with no mixer and a set of Mackie actives ... although you'd need a volume control then :)

i see wot u mean, il probably spend more on the monitors but i was under the impression that they were decent monitors? and i do want a mixer as ive numerous outputs thru my soundcard and i can mix the 8 outputs with the mixin desk and also run my sampler (when i get one) thru it and also any synths that im gonna get.

alesis monitors are what i used (and still use) for 6 or 7 years...

ALESIS MONITOR 1 MK2 (PAIR) £175.99 qty

piece or both?

and where did u find them?

ALESIS MONITOR 1 MK2 (PAIR)

errr it already stated, both of em as in a pair. i thought that was rather cheap too but its wot i says

www.turnkey.co.uk

ive got the 1010 sound card and im well pleased with it although i have to say i tend to mix a lot of stuff down on the computer so i dont really use the 8 outs very often

Mark - dunno always thought they were lacking a bit of definition at the bottom and were a bit soft at the top end, but it's years since i heard anything on them... Doesn't mean you can't get a great result with them but as you are going to have them years from now and you are going to hear a lot of music on them getting the best pair to start with isn't half a bad idea

Yeah we use the alesis mk2 too and if your getting them for that price your laughing! :D

Personly id look for another desk nothing wrong with it just if your on a budget id look for sumin hal the price and buy something else!

But yeah sounds good mate :)

Mark... I the speakers I got over at the shop (Alesis Monitor 1) I notice a slight deep around 170 Hz so most of my mixes end up over punchy... DO u notice anything alike...

Mind u that I'm obliged 2 use a wrong placing 4 the speakears, so it might be this... that's why I'm asking....

But most things sound really clear and nice in the studio, but when I play'em out they just lack defenition (around the mid range and also near the 5KHz).... a really over punchy!!

:?
