Comments about Mackie ProFX 8 8-Channel Desktop Sound Reinforcement Mixer with USB:
The Mackie ProFX 8 is the second mixer that I have had. Set up was easy and the controls work extremly well. I like two of the features the best. The sliders make using the fx easy and the mute button is something I never had before. I do a radio show at Orion Talk Radio and when I want to play a sound clip I just push the mute and leave all of my settings where they are. This makes my life very easy now. This is a very solid unit and I would recommend it to anyone.

Comments about Mackie ProFX 8 8-Channel Desktop Sound Reinforcement Mixer with USB:
I have several of these, and am very happy with them. I really like having the basic graphic EQ for the small setups in meeting rooms where they can't justify the cost of going with a more extensive system.

Comments about Mackie ProFX 8 8-Channel Desktop Sound Reinforcement Mixer with USB:
Good quality, low signal to noise ratio. It is easy to use. The USB gives stereo out and not full board separation. The full board is analog. This works perfectly for me for online presentations. Simple, clean, good components and delivered on time. Once again, B&H!

Comments about Mackie ProFX 8 8-Channel Desktop Sound Reinforcement Mixer with USB:
I used the mixer to set sound for my videography. I found that the mixer is easy to set up and produces a good quality sound. The only problem that I had is how easy it is to accidently press the Break (all channell mute) button.

Comments about Mackie ProFX 8 8-Channel Desktop Sound Reinforcement Mixer with USB:
I was looking to upgrade my audio for my video production company. The Mackie name says it all. Still built like a tank for mobile production. I can use this for recording and a sound system at the venue. The stereo main fully grounded XLR outputs are perfect to my Sony HDR-FX1HD camdorders. If we film a band we can add the whole band to the mixer. Great for Rock n roll video's

Comments about Mackie ProFX 8 8-Channel Desktop Sound Reinforcement Mixer with USB:
This is really an excellent mixer. Very quite and the effects are top notch. The only thing I would have done differantly would be to get the Pro FX12. For the extra 3 inches in width, that's no big deal and you have a little more versatility.

Comments about Mackie ProFX 8 8-Channel Desktop Sound Reinforcement Mixer with USB:
The mixer is excellent, everything works fine, i use it to recording bass guitar and it work well to me. The problem is the software that came with the mixer is not good at all, and the site they send to do the download doesn't work. You need to download a demo and do a registration to keep running the same demo. Buy it because of the mixer, and forget the software. You will need to buy a recording software if want to use for recording.[...]
