Looking at getting another mixer, and wanted a little input....
We currently have a Yamaha MG12XU as our main mixer and love it. We have an Alto ZMX122FX as a second (previously backup) unit. We used to have at most 1 gig per day on the weekends and on a rare occasion a 2nd on the same day and would break out the backup. Now, we have a recurring weekend gig and because many weekends have been booked already, will occasionally have a 3rd. So, trying to get another mixer for either the 2nd or the main system. The Alto will be the 3rd in the line. We love the features of the Yamaha....wondering what might be better....
What we like.....
Mute on each channel, instead of turning volume down
Pick output channels (stereo and/or 1/2) we use this for events where we are playing in one area and announcing in the main area and another area
FX for vocals
USB
Rack ears option for top mount on rack
What we don't like.....
Nothing here yet...
I have heard great things about the ZED-12FX.....am looking at those also....any other suggestions?
