Realized very quickly I need a mixer. Looking for advice and suggestions!
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi all, </p> <p>I recently got started in the modular world with the East Beast. My plan was to take my time learning that and then slowly add a few things on top as I got more and more comfortable. </p> <p>I happened upon what seemed to me like a good deal - an MI Peaks clone and an MI Tides V1 clone on Parasites together for $100, so I ended up grabbing that just to have something to mess around with. I also have a few diy AI Synthesis utility modules and the ELC haXOR that was being given away here a few weeks ago. </p> <p><a href="https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/2227255">Here's the current state of my rack</a></p> <p>Today was the first time I actually tried connecting the EB to anything aside from my computer and I quickly realized that I can't listen to everything together. I only have a Focusrite 2i2 and Logic so having everything mixed and summed before hitting that would be ideal. </p> <p>Does anyone have any suggestions on a good mixer for my setup? I was looking at the DIY AI Synthesis VCA/Mixer which has 4 channels but not sure if there's something else I should look at or if there's something I'm not considering at all in terms of what my rack could benefit from. I don't know these new modules well enough yet. </p> <p>Fwiw, <a href="https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/2204653">here's the "aspirational" beginner rack</a> I put together before buying anything. </p> <p>I appreciate anyone's advice! I know this was a bit long winded but just wanted to provide full background.</p> <p>EDIT: thank you all for your suggestions - I wasn't aware of the majority of these so it's going to be helpful to reference this thread when I come up to this problem again. I ended up grabbing the Doepfer A-135-2 at a great price cheaper than anything I could probably DIY so I went for it.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/key2"> /u/key2 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/12ngxjh/realized_very_quickly_i_need_a_mixer_looking_for/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/12ngxjh/realized_very_quickly_i_need_a_mixer_looking_for/">[comments]</a></span>
