Re: Used Mixer?

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your response.

Sam, I will probably be buying online, So I will have to make an agreement with the Seller to give me enough time to check it out, I also plan to take it to an Authorized Yamaha Service Center to check it out.

I agree there are so many features on a digital mixer, It will take me a while to learn them.

Ty, I want to record 16 mic's (10 Wireless and 6 Wired) From Theater Productions that I shoot Video and Record Audio, and then make into DVD's.

I would like 16 tracks for the mic's (Voice) and 2 tracks for the recorded Soundtrack.
I am mixing down all 18 tracks to a 2 Track Recorder now, I have no way to work on the individual tracks with my current setup. (Tape Out to a 2 track portable Recorder)

My Objective is to do the Live Sound and Record to my Laptop with the same piece of Equipment (Mixer).

My Audio setup is Very,Very Basic now and almost anything I do will be an improvement.

I will be sending the 18+ tracks to Logic Pro 9 for Editing and Mixing Down.

Thanks for any guidance you may have,

John


(I am using 2 mixers, A Behringer Europower PMH2000 which is being fed by a Behringer Eurorack Pro RX1202FX.

I use 6 corded and 2 cordless Mics going into the RX1202FX and coming out of the "Mains Out" and then going into the #9 Channel of the Main Mixer (the PMH2000).

The first 8 channels of the PMH2000 (1-8) are used for 8 wireless mics.

Channel #10 is used to input Music (Tape In) . It is also used as an output to my HD-P2 recorder, I also come off the HD-P2 with my headphones.

All 16 mics are used for vocals and dialogue (No live instruments) The 6 wired mics are locked down, and the 10 wireless are used by the lead Performers (Singing, Dancing, moving around a lot).

My question had to do with Running Sound and capturing Video and Audio to be Edited and made into a DVD

The Live Musical Performances take place in 500 seat Auditoriums (over flow crowds and lots of Noise)

My original question had to do with better monitoring of the separate mic channels, But now has evolved into thinking about upgrading some of my consumer gear to equipment with more features.

I try to rack everything I can, as we do 4 shows in one day and break everything down and load up in less than 1 hour. I like to be able to set up in less than 1 hour also.)
