Alesis MultiMix 4 USB FX – 4 Channel Compact Studio Mixer with Built In Effects & USB Audio Interface for Home Studio Recording

I'd spent a lot of time looking for a usb mixer and had real trouble finding one that had all the features that I wanted - at least 4 inputs, built in effects, usb out, phantom power and able to act as a stand alone mixer, on/off switch - and wasn't too large or too complicated. This Alesis mixer has all the features that I wanted and is only 18 x 22 x 06 cm. The first thing I noticed when I picked up the box was that it was heavy - this thing is built like a tank, steel facia and back, with plastic sides and the knobs and switches all feel quality. In line with most 4 track mixers inputs 1 and 2 have XLR and jack inputs and separate EQ controls and inputs 3 and 4 are just jack inputs and share one set of EQ controls. Inputs 1 and 2 have both gain and level knobs, as well as pan knobs, while 3 and 4 just have level knobs. Inputs 1 and 2 also have 80HZ low cut switches and input two has a guitar switch to accept high impedance signals. There are 15 effects - 8 reverb, 2 delay, 3 modulation (chorus, flange and rotary) and two multi (chorus and reverb) plus a bypass setting. Effects are dialled in via the selector knob and controlled by both a FX send knob on the inputs and a master FX return level knob. On the back are the power 18V power input, on/off switch, phantom power switch and the usb out socket. The unit comes with short, straight-forward instructions in English and I was very quickly able to get it up and running. Everything works as you would expect in a straight-forward manner, when connected to my iMac it immediately recognised the Alesis and I was able to transfer data. The gain and level knobs are a good feature and on most things that I've plugged in - electric guitars, acoustic guitars, ukuleles, mics, condenser mics etc - I've quickly been able to adjust the signal and get a usable sound. The headphone inputs works fine and there is also a mini jack input to connect mp3 players etc which I haven't used yet. The effects are quite subtle and don't sound synthetic, they are easily adjusted via the send and return knobs. All in all I am very pleased with this mixer, I had considered mixers with more inputs and controls and I'm so glad that I didn't go down that road, the simplicity of this Alesis mixer makes it so easy to use and when lockdown is over and I get a chance to use it in a live setting I'm sure it will come into its own on a dimly lit stage. There are cheaper mixers out there with more features but this does feel quality and I'm sure that it will last.

I purchased this deck after reading the reviews and I am glad I did. Its ideal for my home recording and plugs straight into my PC. Using ASIO4All driver there is minimal latency. The only critism is that it has only one channel for guitar, but I can still work with this. Its a very robust design and the knobs are nice and smooth. It also fits on my desk tray with plenty of room around it. I used to have a Behringer, which only lasted about 6 years and gradually degraded until it did not work at all, so I won't by Behringer again until their quality gets better. In summary the Alesis has exceeded my expectations and would recommend this for the home recordist.

Good mixer for the price, with many features including USB, microphone inputs, 2x stereo line ins for keyboards, drums, etc and a passive pick-up guitar line in. Also comes with Steinberg Software. The only problem with it is the registration of the software did not work properly so I have only a trial period to use it. I have read others had a similar problem. Luckily, I prefer Cubase software so it does not really affect me.

I have been trying for ages to set up a decent karaoke in my kitchen using my tv/spare pc/small powered amp but just couldn't quite get it right. After a few reviews (which are really good for this model) on YouTube I decided to purchase this mixer and I have to say it is great and along with a new wireless mic it solved all my problems. Now I just turn on/tune in and drop out as we used to say back in the day.

I'm a drummer and alongside other mixers (due to multiple mics) this just works. Also has usable software included.

Worked ok, would be fine depending on what you're using it for - unfortunately with my set up (baby Taylor and headset mic) the lack of mids not he EQ was a problem as my equipment tends to sound very trebly. Was hoping to return but seems I've just missed the cut-off, hoping to still if there is a way as only been used twice and is unsuitable.

I am not an experienced digital tech. However I wanted to record my midi key board and guitar and vocal tracks on to my Mac Book Pro. This is a well made and great mixer. I have it set up with a direct midi from my keyboards and this handling all other inputs and outputs. The fx is a bit weak but I cannot fault the quality of the product or the sound reproduction. The set up was easy and straightforward.

Bought this as i needed more inputs for various synths great little unit

Muy bajo nivel de ruido de fondo. Los previos para guitarra y micro son espectaculares. Efectos muy buenos. Conexión USB. Lo puedes usar como sound card

かわいいくって かってよかった

Non mi dilungherò molto in questa recensione anche perchè la valutazione complessiva già fa capire il mio grado di soddisfazione per il prodotto. Questo è uno dei pochi mixer "economici" ad includere un ingresso ad alta impedenza che permette il collegamento a strumenti come le chitarre elettriche. Il costo è relativamente alto se rapportato ad altri mixer anche in considerazione dei 4 ingressi audio di cui uno per sorgenti "commerciali" (EXT IN) con jack da 3,5mm stereo. Penso che se l'Alesis MultiMix4 USB FX avesse incluso il compressore audio per ogni canale sarebbe stato un vero "best buy" anche perchè la qualità delle elettroniche è piuttosto buona. Non introduce rumore e gli effetti sono "un orpello carino" ma in certi ambiti davvero comodi e funzionali. Il PAN funziona benissimo, la presenza dei filtro LO CUT ad 80 Hz è una "manna dal cielo" per chi deve microfonare un ambiente e cerca una soluzione per attenuare le vibrazioni dei supporti (che creano oscillazioni a bassa frequenza che rientrano nei microfoni sotto forma di rumore). La porta USB non'ha bisogno di driver per poter funzionare ma in casi particolari dove la latenza è importante si possono installare i driver ASIO4ALL ... driver completamente gratuiti e compatibili con questo mixer. La costruzione è buona, non'è un riferimento ma è curata in tutte le sue parti a parte i piedini in gomma che non fanno quello che dovrebbero alla perfezione cioè dare stabilità. Il livello di guadagno non'è eccessivo, ho visto di meglio ... ma almeno il rumore è davvero ridotto e sotto questo punto di vista è uno tra i migliori mixer di fascia economica che ho provato. Sono soddisfatto perchè sta assolvendo pienamente i compiti che gli ho affidato. Si tratta pure sempre di un prodotto di fascia medio/bassa , forse un pò "sovra prezzato" per la presenza dell'unica "chicca" che è l'ingresso ad alta impedenza selezionabile, ed a testimoniare la sua fascia di appartenenza parla il campionamento massimo di registrazioni pari a 16bit contro i 24bit di prodotti prosumer. Nonostante questo trovo che in generale sia un mixer valido e dedicato a chi ha esigenze particolari ... come un ingresso ad alta impedenza, una sezione FX (effettistica ... che a me serve poco ma se c'è può fare comodo), la presenza di una porta USB con cui collegare le periferiche ad un sistema informatico. Sono soddisfatto del prodotto ? Chiaramente si, conscio di quello che è questo prodotto e conscio di quello che offre il mercato. Prima dell'acquisto valutate bene le vostre esigenze, questo è l'unico consiglio che mi sento di dare, di certo questo prodotto difficilmente vi deluderà sotto il profilo funzionale.

A big disappoint. Ordered "Alesis Multimix 4 USB FX" but received a non FX old version. Even the product is not matching with the product photos advertised. Here i am posting photos of the product what i received.

El problema surge cuando quieres grabar en logic pro ya que solo manda señal STEREO lo que quiere decir que NO GRABA MULTITRACK se dice que es interface porque se conecta (RAPIDISIMO) a logic, lo reconoce la compu y todo bien hasta que quieres grabar ya que si tienes un instrumento ya editado y quieres grabar otro en un canal independiente el sonido del instrumento anterior SE GRABA EN EL MISMO CANAL DEL NUEVO INTRUMENTO es una grabación a un volúmen bajo sin embargo se mete en tus grabaciones y no hay manera de quitarlo. Mi review del producto es el siguiente: NO LO COMPREN SI LO QUIEREN USAR COMO INTERFACE, NO LO COMPREN PORQUE NO ES MULTITRACK, está diseñada para hacer tu mezcla en vivo, ponerle efectos y pum así como lo pones en tu interface a sí se graba en en stereo por LOGIC PRO X. LO BUENO: Calidad de audio, mete poco ruido, para presentaciones en vivo es una chulada, excelente calidad de materiales y mucha portabilidad, aparte si quieres grabar el concierto pues para eso si te funciona que sea interface pero no grabará multicanal y no podrás hacer edición de instrumento por instrumento, lo que saques es lo que graba. Saludos y espero que les funcione mi review
