Audio Mixer for editing suite at DVinfo.net

Ron Stoole · July 20th, 2003, 04:56 PM

Hi Folks:

I am putting the finishing touches to my editing suite and wondered if someone could advise me on what audio mixer or switcher I should use for post production work.

This mixer is only required to direct audio from three different sources into the reference monitors - from the computer (editing program) from the VCR, and from a DVD. I also need to have a loopback into the Matrox breakout box.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Ron

I have not hooked it up to my edit suite, but I have a Mackie 1202-VLZ it seems to do field work and dump to tape OK, it should do non-linear editing just as good. It has 12 channels, 4 Mono with XLR and 3/4 Jack and 8 channels stereo pairs 3/4 Jack. Also has XLR Out stereo or 3/4 Jack.

Check out www.mackie.com

Its a solid piece of kit, but a little bit expensive.

All the best,

Ed

Thanks Ed.

Funnily enough that was the one I was zeroing in on. They sell for about $399 new but there are plenty available around the $200 on Ebay.

I think that's what I'll get.

Many thanks

Ron
