Mixer question

Post by George Macdonald »

I am currently using a very inexpensive Behringer Eurorack 602A mixer for my CD back-up tracks into and out of the effects loop of my Fender Steel King. To me, the tracks sound pretty good. Would there be any significant advantage in using a higher end mixer like the Mackie 1202 VLZ PRO for my tracks? I won't be using any mics or anything else. Thanks, George

If you run the trracks out with no processing then the Mackie would not improve the sound of your tracks. If you process it some, the Mackie has better processing than the Behringer IMHO and it would make a difference. Flat however, it would not.
