Traveler. I think it's fine as a loopers mixer, though it's expensive if all you want is a mixer and don't intend to use it as a computer audio interface. It has a very flexible bus architecture, the typical looping configuration for me is routing a collection of inputs into the computer to feed the looper, direct "zero latency"
monitoring of those inputs to the main out, then routing the output of the looper to
the main outs without duplicating the inputs. Hope that makes
sense, it is similar to what you would do with the Mute/Alt bus on a
Mackie mixer if that helps. You can configure a pair of inputs and outputs for use as a
stereo aux send/return among other things. You can do all this from the front panel without a computer but
it's a bit tedious. Their software control panel CueMix is much
easier. The mic pres are fine for me but I'm not that demanding. I also have the Rolls which I think was mentioned in this
thread. I use it as a summing mixer to get all my various studio toys
down into a stereo signal to feed to the computer. My only
complaint is that the aux send is mono with a stereo return, I would
prefer a stereo send for the looper. Jeff |
