REQUEST TO YAMAHA

the dx200 is badass. can we get some more along these lines? can't imagine it'd be that expensive to mass-produce.

also: love the mg series mixers. keep that up.

yeah yamaha, fucking sort it out.

nice warm room ^^

Alesis USB mixers, or Yamaha MG mixers?

Monomachine

never used the alesis, it might be good, but i figure you'd get a lot better quality recordings if you bought a dedicated audio interface (as opposed to one tacked onto a mixer)

the MG's look decent. Alesis's look really cheap 'n plasticy, but good value for money.

currently using a Focusrite Saffire interface, anyway..

i don't rate alesis gear - had a few things (monitors, USB interface, effects) and it's all been pretty poor. about the best thing they do is the Alesis Ion/Micron. and the Micron's too fiddly (had one of these too) so that really only leaves the Ion. that's the only good thing they make. and no, i haven't forgotten about the Andromeda.

back in the day they made some good tape machines... ADAT etc

i guess i don't like their cheap stuff so much as i like their high-end stuff.

what bugs me about Alesis is they disscontinue sooooooooooooo much of their stuff all the time!! the Ion is disscontinued now, and yeah i agree that's a really good synth, but super rare now.

also agree they have done some good stuff in the past. but so much of it is all cheap 'n cheerfull now, and then they disscontinue it after a year or 2!

bang for buck you can't go wrong with yamaha mixers even if the eq is a little bland the built in compressor on the newer stuff is very handy

Every time I see this thread I think it says, "REQUEST TO YO MAMA".

i'd yamaha yo mama....

p.s. -- is that airfx thing any good? i remember reading it didn't send out MIDI and being pretty put off by that at the time!!
