Thanks Jon, sounds interesting, I had actually dismissed USB audio thinking it would be shite, but i will look at the alesis especially for the price. Im not a real sound guru by any means and im learning as i go. But having lots of fun. Now I all i need is some reasonable software and im done, Im just playing with acid and a few bits at the moment, mainly experimenting with the chaos pad and recording the madness that comes from within. Thx to all who answered. Steve Jon doe wrote:
if its just for those inputs you could get a small behringer desk which comes with fx onboard- i assume most of the work will be one with the laptop- hook up some midi to control it (a great usb soundcard with midi is an Alesis IO2 £99 it only needs the asio driver installed and its ready to go) and run ableton live- then you can trigger loops or any samples. I am only suggesting behringer instead of Mackie as a cheap alternative- unless you are a real sound guru there is no need for the extra expense.

That's what I was gonna say - one caveat (I know this is NA to present discussion) - their DJ mixer is a turd, WAY not what I expected from them. But their studio boards are great, esp for the money.

I'm personally a big Mackie fan. Those same mic inputs double as line inputs on most models.

Hi Guys, Im looking to have a small music setup for a project Im involved in. So far the plan is to have a Korg MiniSynth, an Electribe MX and my laptop hooked up to a mixing desk and using a Kaoss Pad for some live effects. I dont know much about mixing desks and would appriciate some advice on what would be a good choice. My problem is all the desks i have seen, seem to have loads of mic inputs and just a couple of other inputs and what i would want is the opposite. Any ideas, advice would be appriciated.
Steve
