Well, when I finally decided to start recording music at home I found out the truth quickly. And it put me off wanting to record music at home for a long time. From that point on I thought that a giant mixer was a requirement of any recording studio. It took up an entire desk that seemed big enough to fill my studio apartment at the time. Most strikingly of all, was the size of the mixer. One of the reasons for this is that we used to go into professional recording studios and stand there in awe and with amazement at the apparent complexity and amount of equipment that was used in the recording process. When I used to be in a band (a while ago now!) we didn’t do any of our own recordings.
With the introduction of USB mixers, many people are starting to ask if they can act as a replacement for an audio interface.
