I've seen a bunch of them out there. When I was checking them out, there would always be at least one on eBay: http://cq-search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?GetResult&query=mackie+LM* http://search-completed.ebay.com/search/search.dll?GetResult&query=mackie+LM* Look at the price trend lately! On the LM, the monitor bus is post-fader, so SOLO works really well as a stereo "Looper Send". It also allows one to send the main mix when no SOLO button is pressed. I think that ALT 3/4 is also post-fader, plus there is an "ALT 3/4 to Main" or "to RTN" (I can't remember which) button, so one doesn't even have to do any tricky routing to get it to operate essentially the same as the monitor bus for a second, stereo "To Looper". On other Mackies, one could probably "Y" the Alt 3/4 L/R outs and return them to a Stereo Channel (don't press ALT 3/4 on that channel) or Return for the same effect, although I'm sure some brainiac is going to remind us all why one shouldn't "Y" the outputs at this point.... -Hans At 20:33 17/12/2002, you wrote: >I've got a 1642 VLZpro.
