Hi folks I'm just looking for a small, portable, affordable mixer for looping based live stereo setup with active PA. I kind of liked the Soundcraft Compact 4 Mixer. First, the Compact 4/10 are setup for recording, so sound quality shouldn't be too bad. And especially, what I liked is the fact that the whole setup sort of has two stereo Aux busses with stereo routing to Play/Record/Monitor outputs. Drawback on the Compact 4 seem to be the Chinch inputs (yuck). But I have quite a few high quality Instrument-to-Chinch cables left over I could use. I don't need it at all for recording. I would just use it for live situations. The alternative is to get the Soundcraft Compact 4 versus Tapco Blend 6 What do you think? Any good? Do you think I can use the Monitor Out feature in "Mono" mode to send a sterea signal sum to a mono FX?
