Would a mixing desk benefit my home set up?
Posted on: 29.03.2013 by Jarrett Strebeck
Hi im new to the community and relatively new to music.
Im considering buying a small mixing desk but wanted to know whether it would integrate and be worth using with my current set up.

I eventually intend to preform live but at the moment I'm currently recording my music into a macbook.

So basically my set up is.

Akai Midi Controller
Korg Kaoss Mini
Akai Monitors
Behringer condensor microphone
Mbox

Which is then all hooked up to my MacBook Pro in which I am recording my music on Logic.


So like I say with this set up would a small mixing desk work within it and be beneficial. I want the ability to maintain sound levels in one place than all over the place.

Just a few questions:
- Considered using a MIDIcontroller for controlling volume levels?
- Please believe if and how it will benefit your workflow. (You probably have done that loads of times, otherwise you wouldn't be coming up with a question on DJTT. )
- What's your budget?

The first thought that came to my mind with this is a choice you're going to have to make, either having a soundcard with a ton of outputs to go into a hardware mixer, or doing something with a software controller with EQ's.

My first thought would be the Livid CODE if you wanted something specific for that purpose, but other MIDI controllers (many by Livid) may kill other birds as well.



This is a very personal choice to work with your setup, it's just finding exactly what you need.

This is a question im asking myself.

My set up is:

MBP
Logic pRO 9
Ableton Live 8
KRK Rokit 8s monitors
behringer UMX250 MIDI keyboard
Maschine
Lexicon Alpha USB Sound Card


I would like a kind of mixing desk that i can basically use to change volume and EQ parameters on 'everything' noise wise thats done on my macbook, even itunes/youtube for example, If I am playing a track and would like to just turn the bass down down on the low eg knob etc, same with in logic, i can EQ what ever on logic, from the mixing desk.


Any suggestions?
