I use this to sub mix my drums, vocal, and send it to the main PA mixer. Here's how I do it and why this mixer works well for me:
My vocal is in channel 1, and I take a tap off the insert jack (1st click doesn't interfere with the signal flow through the mixer channel, just a send) to send to the "My vocal" channel over there. The drums, are Kick snare tom 1 tom 2 and tom 3 in that order in channels 2-6. I use the MONITOR mix to send to the main PA. I can do this because the monitor mix is POST-EQ, AND I can return FX to the monitor send. I also use the nine band eq to notch just a little bit of 250hz out of the low end, with the EQ set to MONITOR.
Read that again if you need to.
I get a monitor mix FROM the main PA with everything I want to hear MINUS my vocal, and my drums, and return it to the stereo return. THUS, I can control my vocal mic into my headphone mix via the channel one slider, independent of the other vocals, guitar, piano, etc. I can put any drums I want, into my headphones, all with the easy-to-manipulate big sliders across the bottom.
Read that again if you want.
This mixer provides all the signal path-work I need to sub mix myself, hear my vocal, adjust my monitor mix separately, send a quality drum sound to the mains, hear the effects in my monitor, everything I need.
The only oddity I've found is that the headphone amp is independent from the MAIN output slider. I don't use the main output, so I have to use the headphone volume knob for my overall volume to my ears. Works fine, I just assumed I would have the big slider to use. Not a problem. Also, the built in effects are NON-adjustable, which I knew going in. Not to big a problem either, I pick two or three settings, and adjust the send. If I ever get tired of this, and want an adjustable effect unit, I have the inputs to do this.
In retrospect, I COULD reverse the situation, use the Monitor for my headphone mix, use the mains to send the sub mix to the PA, but I'm a fat-fingered oaf when I'm playing drums with one hand, adjusting a volume with the other. Big sliders make it easy to do.
All in all, it's a great little mixer with enough inputs, outputs to fit my needs. Recommended! Good value.
That's completely understandable for a board that costs less than $200 which includes a USB sound card. I'm used to paying $500+ for a USB sound card ALONE, and this one includes an 8 channel Mackie mixer?!? They simply had to have cut some corners somewhere. So with all the complaints, I initially bought a different brand, but that one seemed to have a technical issue (or maybe a design flaw). In any case, I returned in and at the last minute came back to Amazon for the Mackie PROFX8V2.
First thing I noted: It was plug and play on all 3 machines I tried it on. (Windows 7 and Windows 10). I didn't need any drivers at all, unlike the first board I tried. That's a big plus.
But the big question was that USB noise. All those reviews that complained about it never gave it in a quantifiable amount: There is noise. But how MUCH noise? I was about to find out.
Connecting it to a laptop, I fired up Adobe Audition. I quickly had audio in and out. I set levels, then I turned all the pots to zero, which should leave me with dead silence. The headphone jack gets pretty loud on this board, and at full volume I could easily hear the noise they were complaining about. But the input meters on Adobe Audition showed a level of about -63 dB. That's the noise floor. I'd expect much better in a $500 sound card. But -63 dB is something I can work with.
To put it in perspective, the noise floor requirement for FM broadcasters imposed years ago by the FCC is -60 dB. This board beat that requirement by 3 dB. I have professional broadcast studios that aren't quite that good. So I sent the board out on the trip to NYC and didn't worry about it.
The broadcast lasted 3 days. The group came back and raved about the board. "It's a FANTASTIC board!". Not one word about any noise. I'm very happy with this!
