Looking for mixer advice

[Volsteh]

Good evening good people. Beginner here, thinking of getting M:S and M:C. I’m looking for advice for a mixer to mix those two and in the future maybe the two Novation Circuits. Any suggestion would be welcome. Thank you!

Do your homework. I’m a fan of Mackie mixers. Yamaha makes some great ones. it really depends on how analog or how you want to control the flow. Are you using a DAW? are you not using a DAW? is this your live setup? is it your studio only setup… Tons of things to think about.

Depends on what you want to do with the mixer? Live jams? Want to record individual tracks over usb? In any case, there’s probably a lot of useful info in the two recent threads on mixers:

Mixers 2020

My home rig is growing to the point of thinking I may want to add a mixer. Driving myself a bit nutty comparing stuff. I’ve looked a lot at the Soundcraft MTK stuff, but the 12 seems a tad small a the 24 is possibly a bit too big for my space. The Tascam Model 16 is interesting and could be great for recording live shows and mobile recording, but I just don’t know about the audio quality. My converters at home are a Lynx Aurora (n) 16 TB, which sounds terrific, but I think I’d rather patch all …

Mixer Poll: What’s in your studio? In your live set?

Studio: EPM8. Had a Toft ATB-08. Would you believe that the EPM actually sounds really good? It’s got me curious about Soundcraft analog mixers. Live: OT is the main mixer, but have also have run the Yamaha mgxusb12 or w/e the model is with success, no character outta that thing thought. But if I could have my druthers…realistically I’d run a Ghost 32 in the studio and an X-desk live. Unrealistically, it’d be an API box in the studio. And cuckooland would be looking at a Neve but probably mo…

Thanks guys, gonna check that out.
My primary would be live jamming, sure i would also record some good stuff coming out of it, but nothing pro, its like a hobby, to ease stress after work etc. Got some years also. My first music making was on commodore 64 like a kid, then trackers on 486 pc, modern daws later… Got a hold on a Quasimidi Rave-O-Lution 309 lots of years ago and had lots of fun with it. But never had experience with mixers. So a few weeks ago saw a M:C video and got blown away with the features, sound and especially the sequencer. Remembered the fun times with the Rave-O-Lution and how easier was to be creative on a machine.

I just bought an old Crest XR20 for pretty cheap. Should do the trick

So im thinking something in this range: Yamaha MG10XU or Allen&Heath ZEDi-10. Dont really know what all the I/O specs means so i guess its gonna be a week of research to get a hold on that.
