The passive Rolls stereo mixers might work for you, if you just need to mix, without preamps, eq, etc.

@gimber Thank you. Will look into it.

I am starting to think that I might be able to do a lot with a Sound Devices MixPre-3.

One thing I forgot to mention is that I’d be using either an OP-1 for sequencing / sampling or an SP-404. I am loving the idea of being to record straight into this thing.

I bought a used MixPre-10M and really enjoy it for both mixing and recording.

This sounds like my device. It seems flexible and portable. I love the fact that I can record.

That this count?

Need to get a proper case \ pod for it, but its very portable as it is now :slight_smile:

Edited:

Expanded it with 4 more channels and put it on a pod, dont know if it counts as minimal…

I saw this posted up near the top of the thread but there wasn’t any feedback on it. I have been search for a mixer, preferably small with stereo sends - at least one, possible two or a mono as well. From what I have found, this has a dedicated stereo send and stereo return, and you can set the control room output to be the aux send. I am assuming/hoping that this serves as a mult for the send channels. I read that one issue is that the L and R of the stereo channel is sent to aux 1 and aux 2 respectively. Although not ideal I’m not sure that it would matter to me. Has anyone used one or know why there’s not much around about them? It seems very cheap and my local store is getting them in soon. It might be just what I’m looking for wrt routing options

which pod is this?
the shallow 60?

Who else is dying for a high quality mixer with at least (4) 3.5mm line level stereo inputs, a master output control (no channel faders), and a headphone output with independent volume control–preferably battery powered?

The TC Electronics Blender would be my solution, but the form factor is awful. Rolls makes some candidates, but they look and feel clunky.

Well put. I’m looking for the exact mixer you describe. The Rolls are indeed clunky yet reliable, but ultimately an approximation of the right solution. Your configuration seems like a no-brainer. I’m surprised nobody has developed something along your criteria and then put it in a nifty little box.

while Behringer are announcing 100000 new eurorack modules a day and making awkwardly tiny versions of things that were originaly 5u, why don’t they simply make a directly scaled down 3.5mm-jacks version of the Xenyx 802 as a eurorack module :smiley:

Yes, thats the one :slight_smile:

#1124

I mean, that Tex Mix that @thopa posted above would work in that situation + more (fx send, cue, etc). But I’m guessing you want something even more minimal

I have a TC Blender on the way, but just a simple, small, and high quality box for use with e.g. Korg Volcas and such (which have their own volume controls and often onboard FX) would be awesome.

I now have a need to find a minimal mixer. To have one set of speakers shared by a variety of sources. Something retro, minimal, simple. 8 inputs. Any ideas?

You didn’t say “beautiful,” so Mackie CR1202?

Good point, we’ll made.

All that plus beautiful :wink:

#1129

Not sure it qualifies as minimal, but it’s compact: https://www.sonosax.ch/product/sx-st/

Spoiler: it’s expensive

Wow. What case is that?

#1132

If the folks at Bastl ever visit this thread, there is a market (i.e., me) for a Dude 2.0 (pun intended) that runs in stereo and incorporates panning via the inputs like the Nearness module.

Are there any hardware mixers that are primarily screen based? I’ve seen some examples from a quick search but much of them still also have pots for volume, eq etc. Maybe I am thinking out loud here, but I am imagining something Norns form factor but primarily for mixing. Menu could be encoder and button driven. I’ve found that kind of interface doesn’t slow me down.
