To be honest I can't really remember off the top of my head if you can, I'll make sure to go to my friends house tonight or at least ASAP and will just make sure for you.

Skip,

There are so many mixers that can do what you want. However,
you'll need to look at the old mixers to get it done.

The only downfall on this is, a great chance losing those
massive cuts (-26, -32) found on the Bass, Mid, and, Trebile
controls offered on mixers today.

If you have an effects box (Pioneer, A&H, Alesis, etc.) losing
these features won't matter.

I know exactly what you're talking about, and can't stand
the the bass, mid, trebile effect the cue as well.

If you don't care about size, Rane's MP 22, and MP 24 will
give you what you want. They are sold cheap on Ebay seeing
that they are dated.

Even Gemini mixers will give you what you want. But, again.
You'll need to look for the older models.

That's what I said about a year ago.

One Xone 92 rotary later and... you get the point. It's a slippery slope

kinda late, but the pmc55 does NOT have this feature. you hear your eq changes in the headphones, there's no way to defeat this feature.

the "eq cut" feature just sets the eq to zero boost/cut. i think it's supposed to just set the eq to 0 boost max, but still be able to cut. on mine it resets the eq to zero, but i can't cut or boost on it. maybe i have to open up the mixer to mess w/it. at least i can use the eq cut as a kill switch, comes in handy sometimes!

i don't think there's a way to regret buying a xone92, even if for just home/hobby use. i'm not a pro either, but i have definatley developed a taste for finer equipment. belive me, buying a high end mixer will just drive you deeper into the loving embrace of your addiction. don't fight it...

that's what it did to me, (and probably to a lot of other people on here) and i'm loving every second of it.

anyone who can FOR SURE confirm that you can cue more than one channel at once with the pcv-175? the auction is gonna end in about 4 hours and i don't want to miss this one.


thanks!

20min!!! anyone?!!?!?


Posted by skip on Mar-05-2006 03:14:

still time to confirm it. i didn't meet the reserve on it and the unit didn't get sold, so i'll have to sort this out later again if the guy puts it on for sale later on. but i'd really like a confirmation on this one.

thanks.

why don't you email him?

I can say for sure the PMC-170A has what you want. It was the model previous to the PCV-175, and looks the same except the faceplate colour.

I can't say for sure if the PCV-175 has what you want, but it wouldn't surprise me.

i did, but the guy is really slow to reply. got the reply after the auction was over


Posted by skip on Mar-05-2006 18:54:

my main concern about the mixer now is that am i gonna be able to mix only in headphones with this mixer? my "monitors" fucking suck ass and most times i'm mixing at times when i can't even keep them on, so i'd like to be able to mix only in headphones, which requires me to be able to cue to at least 2 channels in the headphones at the same time. can someone confirm that i can do this for sure. thank you.

thanks a bunch! got a few possibilities on getting this mixer. just dunno if i should pay around 400� for a brand new one or settle for a used one and pay about 200 to 250� for that one.


Posted by Rebel Brown on Mar-05-2006 20:31:

I'd go used if I were you. 200 euros is a fair slice of cash, spend it on records or booze or something.
