Damn, I’m in Brighton, does collecting a Vintage Mixer count as essential travel?

My government guidance indicates this.

(staff notice: lengthy offtopic discussion on crowdsourced mixer design has been moved to a new thread: crowdsourced mixer design. as a reminder, any potential groupbuy discussion (if the concept reaches that point) needs to take place in the appropriate potential group buys thread in Trade.

please keep this minimal mixers thread focused on sharing minimal mixers. there’s been a lot of discussion on standard/maximal/non-minimal mixer designs that are more appropriate for the general mixers and matrix mixers threads.

for this thread’s minimal mixers discussion:

in keeping with the forum rules regarding commercial activity, please refrain from posting “buy this here” links to offsite web shops, which are rapidly outdated in any case. please limit “buy this here” link requests to PMs, rather than the public thread.

thank you from your forum staff!)

I would not consider this a group buy related discussion @ioflow rather a discussion of what makes up the components of an ideal minimal mixer. But nonetheless I think it is fine as it’s own thread

apologies for the billionarse bezos mixer link

unfortunately you can’t buy the loop mixer commercially anywhere else

Would this be close to what you’re looking for?

Haven’t used it but I once had a little passive mixer of theirs and it seemed fine, sturdy but minimal.

That could work but I’d need mono to stereo adaptors. I think the Mackie Mix 5 is probably the best solution for what I needed.

Regardless I’ve since ditched this plan entirely! Turns out I didn’t have as much table space as I thought haha. Plus starting up a second mixer is maybe opening up a can of worms I should keep closed. Decided I’m just going to sell my Digitakt that I don’t use often instead, and then all my inputs will fit on the mixer I currently have! Gotta fight those GAS / hoarder impulses.

Incorporating the Radial Key Largo into my setup this week. A USB C-to-B 2.0 cable has the mixer immediately working as a stereo audio interface with my Android phone, which should eliminate 90% of my computer reliance in the studio. Now that’s what I call minimal :notes:

Having built a few ST Modular modules, this caught my eye, and might be of interest to some:

Chainable 6hp stereo channels, 8hp master module.

Two effects sends (a OR b), tilt EQ, pan, mute per channel.

An unusual choice to have a knob to fade a channel between PFL and the main mix, but as it’s designed as a performance mixer, on consideration it begins to make sense to me pretty quickly.

DIY.

Picked one of these up cheap from ebay. Nice for a minimal noodling setup. Still need to test the ios record / effects system.

I bought this little Aliexpress mixer and I am positively surprised. Actually, I expected an annoying noise, but this doesn’t happen. I use it for small headphone sessions with 2xNorns, Digitakt and Eurorack.

How is the headroom? Can you input loud eurorack signals without clipping? I suppose it probably also depends on your power supply voltage.

Headroom’s fine, don’t expect too much. My Eurorack Case is connected to the small mixer via an Erica Synth Pico Stereo output module. I have never had a situation where I produced clipping. But like I said, I mainly work with headphones, so I pay a lot of attention to volumes. The mixer is powered by a 9v supply. For ~10$ you can test it without getting annoyed later. Delivery to Germany was also quite quick with about 2 weeks.

Wow this is perfect for tabletop messing about without going through to the actual studio. This plus a “new user” voucher have come in very handy at a time of limited funds!
