This one’s a bit better, as it has two sends and should be readily available http://www.samsontech.com/samson/products/mixers/sm-series/sm10/

A couple of years ago I got a Yamaha AG-03 and now I’ve come to the realization I should have held out for something a bit less minimal. Chief among my complaints is the fact I can’t do a proper submix - and also that I paid more for it than I would have for a Mackie Mix8, which does offer that feature.

Patchblocks’ PB-MIX3: 3 stereo channels, main and aux busses (stereo), stereo aux return, headphone amps on both busses… internal rechargable battery… And very small!

I have one of those too!

That looks nice! How are you finding the 3.5mm connections? Not too tiny for studio use?
Pity it doesn’t allow control over aux send level.

Also did some more searching and found the Mackie U420, which was already posted in this thread Minimal mixers
It has 4 stereo inputs, 1 fx/aux send (no return though) and firewire. So close :stuck_out_tongue:

All the things I plug into that mixer sit just a few inches away, whether in the studio, or out at a gig. If I could find really nice, short 3.5mm to dual 1/4" cords, my life would be complete. For PiSound, which is 1/4" stereo, I use the lovely matching, short, 3.5mm patch cords PB sells, with some solid adapters.

Yeah, no volume on: when used as a cue, it is fine, otherwise, it is… a creative limitation.

I just picked up one of these beatnic mixers in Tokyo, doesn’t get much more minimal than this! (i’m aware this isn’t quite the type of mixer this thread is about)

wow, these are cute! almost the same as the price of shipping too, which is wild :joy:

I don’t think they sell the exact thing you want. But I’ve used the tiny stereo breakout cables that Hosa sell:

I have U420, it’s gotten really noisy over the years despite not using it all that much: not sure I would recommend one…

#772

Ohw, that’s disappointing, especially from a company like Mackie from which I expected better.
Thanks for the heads up!

Not sure if this helps, and I can’t vouch for quality. But the soundcraft notebook series looks great and it’s analog.

In a similar vein, I’ve been eyeing this one for a while…

The flip-side panel is decidedly less minimal, but could hang with some Meng Qi stuff…

That Erica mixer is excellent, really well thought out. I wish mine would fit in my ultra minimalist rig!

#779

That hyrlo mixer looks dope. I wish with a mono signal the R jack could take CV for panning, though it seems like a good companion to a nearness or two! :thinking:

you’d have to have something like three more switches on the front panel to accomplish that, not to mention the circuitry additions!

I have quite a bit of mackie gear, mostly trouble free, but that one was not… it’s also quite big, not the most portable piece of gear!
