I’m new to this music stuff, i know i need a Mixer, but i dont have a lot of money, what are the conequenses of getting a cheap one and what exactly do they do? xD

Get one at Radio Shack or Musician’s Friend. You’ll want one with at least 2 cross-faders, preferably 3 or 4 though. That way you can plug in 1 or 2 turntables and 1 or 2 cd players. You may want a usb connection as well for connection of mp3 players. You can get a good mixer for around 100 bucks. Plug it into a ‘reciever’ or ‘amplifier’ (a home surround-sound system should work or if you have a line-in on your computer you can use that). Now play, learn and craft and have fun!

Track list:
Logic, Blues for You
The Messenger, Main Vibe
Todd Edwards, Saved my Life

A bit rough in places but here’s a short video of me practicing with my brand new S3500s and a few old US House tracks. And yeah, I know the Denons come with a friggin loop function but surely that would be even more boring to watch than this video wouldn’t it?? (Mixer is a Urei 1601)

I have a few questions here.
-Do live music mixers also record acoustic instruments?
-Do they require computer accompaniment?
-Are there any exceptions as to what instruments it can record?
-Are they difficult to use?
-Is this a good mixer?

If not can you recommend a good one?

Here goes:

-Do live music mixers also record acoustic instruments?

Not exactly. Mixers provide a path to the recording device. Yes, there are some mixers that have built in recording features, but these are not such a good idea. Typically you want your components separate.

In defining a mixer, think of the name itself. A mixer mixes audio signals. Say you have a drummer who plays really loud, and a vocalist who sings really soft… A mixer will allow you to take both those audio signals even them out, boost, or cut one of the signals to send a smooth mix to speakers or a recording device.

-Do they require computer accompaniment?

Depends on the mixer. Analog mixers tend to be older technology and were built to output their multiple channels of sound to a recording device or amplifier and speakers.

Digital mixers are a newer generation of mixers that are capable of the same tasks, but convert the audio into a digital signal… which can often be streamed or controlled by an external computer as well.

-Are there any exceptions as to what instruments it can record?

You need to be able to either connect a cable to the instrument, or hold a microphone to the instrument. If you can do that, the other end of the mic or instrument cable will plug into the mixer.

-Are they difficult to use?

Not really. Once you take time to understand how the signal passes through one, you can find your way around others fairly easy.

-Is this a good mixer?

It’s not bad. Keep in mind, you’ll still need something to record into, if that’s what you want to do… that means you need either a hard-disk recorder, tape recorder, or best possible option, a computer with recording software.

To record into a computer, you need an audio interface. These typically have multiple inputs, and you could essentially connect the output of your mixer into it.

Recording software: Ableton Live Lite, ProTools LE, Logic Xpress, Garageband, Cakewalk, Cubase, Sony’s Acid… etc

If not can you recommend a good one?

I’m not sure what you’re trying to do exactly. If you’re recording a band, I would go ahead and get the mixer you’re looking at, or take a look at the Tascam ($) or Mackie ($$$) product line. You’ll then need an audio interface to connect the mixer to your computer… for that, look at the MOTU Ultralite, or on the cheaper end, search M-Audio Audio Interfaces at Sweetwater.com and see what turns up.

If you’re just recording yourself, or a couple people, skip the mixer for now and just get an audio interface with multiple inputs. (The MOTU Ultralite also acts as an 8 channel mixer and works without a computer connected…)

btw, the number of channels a mixer has means the number of inputs it has, which means the number of microphones or instruments you can connect to it.

By music mixer, I mean a program I can use to layer music files to put a bunch of small music files into a single one so they play they way I need them to.

I have not used this one , but think it could be better

I’m not sure if it’s called a music mixer. Let me explain. When you are on the mixer thing you put in a CD and then there are these designs in the back round that sort of move to the beat of the music..do you know what I’m talking about? please send me a link to download it if you know what i mean.

hey i have been using kptunes for a while and i am happy the way it works. they have the largest network and biggest music collection. if you want to download music videos then you can try http://www.kptunes.com with the best and good quality sound track.

Good Luck
