Recording Desks

Post by RockyStar »

What are you using for your recording rig desk?

Did you buy something specific or are you using something else and making it work?

In the '90s I had a Yamaha ProMix 01 and Mackie 1604. Then I bought a Yamaha O2R but when I went ITB I bought a Mackie Onyx 1620.

That was 15+ years ago but I see no need to upgrade the desk 'cause it's for zero-latency monitoring only.

What the fuck are you talking about...

Is it like one of these two or something in between? :lol:

Hell, I can understand THAT! You had me confused on your code speak. All I was hearing was "Breaker 1-9, Breaker 1-9, this here is the bandit looking for the Monkey Man, come back. Smokey's on my tail and I am trying to get across the state line with my ProMix 01 and Mackie 1604 before the county mounties come looking for my Yamaha O2R over on the ITB. You can reach me at the VIP room of the Onyx at 1620 hours...as for Mackie put that pedal to the metal and don't look Backie.....come back. Over and out" In the background is the Smokey and the Bandit theme playing softly...

Ha! Awesome man. :lol:

Apart from the O2R, which I had to sell my gramma for, all the desks were / are budget-but-good small-format offerings:

The Mackie CR-1604 was revolutionary back in the '90s, bringing a new level of performance to small-format (16 channels and below) consoles.
The Yamaha ProMix 01 brought digital mixing to the masses, being the first-and-cheapest 16 channel digital desk with moving faders etc.
The Mackie Onyx 1620 offered a new level of mic-preamp performance in a budget desk; I still use it for monitoring to this day.

Over and out good buddy.

The wooden block conglomerate is a great idea and looks cool as well!
