Hi Flatfoot,

I've used this same mixer for a couple of years and it sounds great. I love the sound of these mic preamps much more than my old Mackie.

After a flood we just went through, I saved the mixer but I the power supply was drowned. I called Alesis and they were no help and wanted over $40 bucks for another one.

After almost 2 months of laying out and drying out, the power supply works. Good thing I didn't throw it away.

I've loved this mixer since the first time I plugged it in. I never bother with the USB. I use the line in on my old PC and now on my new one and it sounds excellent. Dead quiet and I like the onboard effects too.

I have 2 mics and they sound excellent with this mixer. Way better than my friend's much higher priced board. One thing though, keep it on a hard surface with good air circulation. The bottom can get pretty hot. But it's never failed me yet in over 2 years.

Wayne,
