I cannot recommend the Heil Pr-40 enough.

Great, clean sound. It's a bit pricey, but BSW has some really good deals on it.

If you want to be ready to go out of the box. They have this bundle

It used to have teh Scarltite, which thankfully it no longer does because that thing was garbage. I don't know anything about the Presonus Studio 2/6 though.

Alternative. This is the package that I got. I have been extremely satisfied with it and this is a GREAT price.

You will have to pick up a mixer separately. Which I would advise doing some research on what you will need from your mixer.

This is what I ended up getting - but that was mostly because I wanted the availability of more than 2 mics.

If you can spend $180 I'd recommend the Behringer X1204USB. It's got 4 preamps and, what I think the killer feature is, compressors on every channel (great for vocals), and an effects unit to add a bit of reverb if you'd like. https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-Xenyx-X1204USB-Premium-12-Input/dp/B0039PPW60

There's also the X1222USB with 6 preamps (but still just 4 compressors) for $200 https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-X1222USB-BEHRINGER-XENYX/dp/B0036ECH1M

A decent mixer will work. I've got a Behringer Xenyx X1222USB for my 4-mic setup:

https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-X1222USB-BEHRINGER-XENYX/dp/B0036ECH1M

Run each mic into a channel, IEMs/headphones via monitor out and backing track source in via RCA or 1/4" in. You can also run the USB out into your laptop if you wanna record, though it'll only record in stereo via USB (not individualized multi-channel).

I've been using this setup for about a month for practicing with backing tracks and it works great for that application.

I went with the behringer xenyx x1222 usb, fantastic for the price.

u/Diamondandy · 1 pointr/Twitch

Sorry to hijack your responses, but I have a Behringer X1222USB Xenyx 16 Input 2/2 Bus Mixer and was wondering if you could recommend any "cheap" wireless microphone setups at all. Would like to walk around my apartment and talk into a mic that is attached to me.

Thought I'd ask since you've been surrounded by this kinda stuff for years :)

u/brentcopeland · 1 pointr/podcasting

absolutely love my behringer usb mixer which mixes in computer audio from skype/hangouts/zencastr/cursevoice/discord/anything just fine.

And if you have the same hosts each week, the mixing should stay the same, too. But I've stopped editing for the most part. Doing everything front end with a mixer, and other devices, saves SOOO much timer and effort. Finish the show, and upload. More time to focus on the next show, marketing, or interactions with your listeners.

The NW-700 is a decent mic for the money but you should probably use dynamic mics instead of a condenser mic. You’ll have a lot of issues with sound bleeding with 5 condenser mics in a room.

You could get 2 of these.
3x mic pack

That way you also don’t need phantom power.

Then you can pick up a better mixer with something like this.

Lastly, you can get 5 Neewer boom arm with XLR cables inside the arm for $18

That puts tour total at about $370 for the setup or about $75 each.

Most computers can't deal with 8 USB mics at once, on top of the fact those mics don't work well all in the same room together. I would get a USB XLR mixer and some dynamic mics.

8 people seems like a lot? This mixer goes up to 6 via XLR and is pretty affordable. Behringer is an "affordable" brand.

Speaking of Behringer, these mics are pretty decent for the price. They will slightly pick up others in the room, but nothing a simple gate in post can't fix. I don't know your budget, but if you want to get fancier, you can go with the MXL BCD-1.

I use the Focusrite 18i20, it's way more pricey.


I enjoy using Reaper.FM, it's $79 on both Mac/PC. It can record your software and edit it. I'm on Mac, I record everything with Audio Hijack first, then do my post in Reaper.

If you have more questions, let me know. I can get more specific with other stuff if you care.

I actually do happen to have this mixer with 12 line-ins. Not the best but I've never really had trouble with it.

I'm somewhat concerned about my workflow though, and if you have a setup like this (analog mixer -> audio interface), maybe you could shed some light on it? Usually I'll record a bunch of MIDI stuff and send it off to each piece of hardware (using Ableton's external instrument) and just let them run while I'm composing more things. Then once I'm satisfied I'll record all the different instruments to different tracks (easy to do simultaneously with an audio interface). I think it would get a little more hairy with the mixer - having to mute channels, record one at a time, etc. It wouldn't be terrible but I don't think it's as clean, and it could get annoying.

I am chewing up all of the 6i6 inputs right now though, and it would be nice to free up the front inputs with preamps for whenever I feel the need to do mics or guitar/bass.

u/jasmith-tech · 1 pointr/livesound

For that cost you won't find a mixer than can do any kind of multi tracking via USB. Usually you'll just get a 2 track left and right out. You could probably do this with an audio interface of some kind.

Your main outputs are for your main speakers, if you're just recording you could mix your monitors like that and not run mains. I would be looking for something with a few aux outputs that you could use for monitors because you could then send just your vocal channels to them.

How many inputs are you talking about recording?
Something like a Behringer Xenyx would work, but again you'd be limited to recording JUST your left and right output, so you wouldn't be able to mix anything after the fact. There are a lot of little boards like this that might fit the bill depending on your needs. Yamaha, Allen and Heathe, Mackie, so on and so forth.

Other option is picking up an audio interface that would allow you to multi track in some software and send some outputs to your monitors, but your money probably won't go as far per input.
