Re: Looper's Little Mixers...



Hi Luis,
Interesting - Did you make an active choice of the MFX over the EFX?

I have the soundcraft mfx 12/2 and i am very very
happy with it,smaller than the mackie cfx12 i use to
own,more channels,quality sound and efx on board and
even lighter than the mackie! plus mute buttons are
led so you see whats muted or not (i dont understand
why mackie didnt include this in their new mkII
series,big drawback when looping)plus more routing
possiblities.
and its only a bit more expensive than the cfx16 which
is way to big anyway!
But when traveling by train i need something even
smaller so thats why i am looking at the behringer
Xenyx 1204,i want to fit everything in a couple of
bags you see...
but keep dreaming yeah,there will always be a third
bag,that damn FCB1010!!!
Luis
