4.0 out of 5 stars Good solid mixer and firewire audio interface, November 2, 2007

By	Eric K. Talerico "greenmanwest" (sierra vista arizona) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a terrific little mixer - it has a an easy to use interface, comes bundled with a powerful software suite (Steinberg Cubase LE) ample input and output options, and allows you to do true simultaneous multitrack recording with little or no latency in monitoring. I've been using it for a few months now - and was dismayed momentarily when I upgraded my Mac to Leopard, but Alesis was quickly forthcoming with a new driver, and now it works beautifully, and if anything better than it did before the OS upgrade! As a recording artist, I've found it the perfect tool for generating a song sketchbook - its so easy to set up and start recording. But for audiophiles not happy with the sound their computers generate, it might be a good upgrade for you too - essentially, the MultiMix becomes your sound card - with truly Hi Fidelity output. You'll be amazed at how much better iTunes sounds through one of these than with a native sound card.
Highly recommend this item!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tiny, but Tough!, December 8, 2008

By	J. A. Connolly "connokeys" (Oak Park, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm truly amazed at the versatility of the MultiMix8 FireWire! I heeded Mr. Talerico's advice and downloaded/installed the Mac OS.X (Leopard) upgrade before setting up the mixer. Everything ran perfectly, first time out of the chute!

I'm getting re-acquainted with Cubase, starting with the bundled "lite" version: Cubase 4LE - a not-particularly-subtle attempt to get the user to upgrade to the more sophisticated - and vastly more expensive - Studio suite (which I'll probably purchase down the road. Yeah, they got me; I've always like the Cubase & VST platform, starting waaaay back in the Atari Falcon days).

I've noticed that the MultiMix gets quite toasty, but nothing alarming. All-in-all, this is the best little tabletop mixer I've seen in a long while.. Highly recommended!
