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.[...]

SO FAR I'VE USED THIS PRODUCT TO DIGITIZE MY VINAL COLLECTION. THE USB PORT WORKS PERFECTLY IN MY SYSTEM AND THE QUIET PREAMPS DON'T COLOR THE SIGNAL. THE WHOLE THING WORKS LIKE A CHARM. I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT IT.
