At the minute I have an electribe emx, an electribe er1 and a dave smith evolver. I am trying to use these in conjunction with ableton (as a midi slave) where i will be using ableton for triggering some audio clips.

I want a mixer that will independently route the audio signals from each hardware box to an independent track in ableton (so as to utilise abletons effects), then along side this use ableton to fire off a few clips. Also I would like to be able to record the audio from the hardware in ableton for arrangment at a further date. I want to do this as I find just jamming with these boxes produces better results for me.

I have been looking at some mixers such as the m-audio nrv10, the mackie onyx series and the edirol m16dx.

Has anyone any experience with these or can they recommend something similar?

Cheers

Hi. I use a ZOOM MRT-3B drum machine played through a KORG mini-KP plugged into my KORG Electribe EA-1 mk II's Audio In port. All of this output then goes into a BEHRINGER Xenyx 802 mixer.

I track in Digital Performer, using my BEHRINGER's stereo outs plugged into a MOTU Micro Lite USB MIDI interface.

I would suggest the BEHRINGER Xenyx series. Very good value for the money. I have used my own for just under two years with (touch wood) next to no noise or other problems. You will probably want one larger and more sophiosticated model than the 802, and BEHRINGER makes these, too, comparable to MACKIE models, yet less expensive.

Hope this helps . . .

I got an Allen & Heath ZED 14 that works great and costed me only $400. This mixer in conjunction with a RME Multiface lets me route all my stuff the way I want to/from Ableton Live.
