lol

btw @jondashkyle thanks for sharing…
everytime you post I’m hoping to hear about new projects (if I followed you elsewhere on social media I might already know)

Did I ever tell you guys about people in Poland in the 80s wearing resistors pinned to their clothing as anti-communist signs? True story.

Wow, that DJ mixer is a real high-end work of art! We all know the fields of studio recording and live sound have markedly different tools. This Meza mixer design strikes me as a live sound tool built with boutique audio components. Lovely design and build quality but a bit out of context for most people. For example, the midrange enhancement of those (expensive!) cinemag output transformers are subtle in a studio scenario and unnoticeable in any live context I’ve ever worked in. If one needed to bring a live feature set into a studio production setting, I think this would be an excellent tool and at a price I’d expect to pay for a top of the line product (except for the headphone amp, that thing can go to hell). For live work, I’d prefer something that won’t break when dropped and preferably waterproof in anticipation of the beer that will someday be dropped upon it.

" sony recording mixer " -all of five bucks from the salvos…
unfortunately its not an arc six… it is however, pretty darn minimal.

This black DIY module is a passive eurorack mixer. Rather minimal if I may say so myself.

yes indeed !
how does it work ?

It’s a network of resistors, so totally passive. I guess one can patch together a few different attenuation levels but it’s also at the mercy of the output impedances of the sources.

I want a modern music-gear oriented version of the mixers made for Nagra tape recorders.
Imagine this with a (semi)modular on top instead:

Ah, good call. Yeah, there are some schematics here:

I like the layout of that Nagra mixer front panel.

I spend an undue amount of time looking around at mixers, patchbays, routing options, looking for some magic thing that matches my checklist and looks clean/simple/elegant. Admittedly, I’d probably settle just for matching my checklist (8 mono/stereo channels in, 4 stereo channels out, all 1/4" TS jacks (could even live with 1/8"), no EQ, no mic pres, no master faders, just 4 volume knobs and a pan per channel, half the size of the A&H Zed14). And, in contrast to something I said earlier in this thread, I think I might now prize the space savings/portability of knobs over faders.

But I’m sure that will never exist, even if it had to have master faders, so I continue to look at half measures.

Unrelated to the above, but I’m oddly always compelled to get a Pokketmixer whenever I see one, even though I doubt I’d have much use for it. Passive device, surprisingly uncluttered in its presentation.

with those wipe patterns you should be able to recreate the star wars films quite effectively.

rad

doepfer doesn’t often fit my taste but functionally that looks great
