Alesis iMultiMix 16 USB 16-channel Compact Mixer with USB Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this set for about a year now and can't say enough good things about them. When I tell my friends how much they cost, they are in disbelief! What a bargain. There is a good variety of sounds and plenty of room to make your own kits. This set could easily sell for the double the price it currently goes for.

Part of a new class of iPod mixers pioneered by Alesis, the compact Alesis iMultiMix 16 USB mixer features a Universal Dock for iPod that enables recording directly to any Apple iPod Classic, 5th generation (video) and 2nd or 3rd generation iPod nano. The mobile recording mixer has iPod transport controls and a control wheel built into the surface for complete control of the iPod while it is docked in the mixer.
Great for recording live recordings of any performance, home studios, stages, podcasts, and houses of worship, the iMultiMix 16 USB offers eight analog inputs, 100 digital, 28-bit effects, phantom power and two switchable mic/line/guitar inputs. Integrated USB audio output enables you to move your recordings to a Mac or PC without special drivers or complicated set-ups. Steinberg Cubase LE 4 and Ableton Live Lite Alesis Edition recording software are included so no additional programs are needed for professional recording.
The iMultiMix 16 USB can also playback music from the iPod, and mix your live performance instantly with the iPod. This makes the iMultiMix 16 USB perfect for using the iPod as a backing track for solo or band performances, while mixing sound sources all in one compact, convenient place.
