Just received the new mixer. Hope to have time to unbox it this weekend and play with it...I will keep you all posted.
Congrats on the new mixer! I'm sure I'm not the only one looking forward to hearing back from you once you get it up and running.

So how do you like the mixer? Like you, I'm just getting started with this and somewhat of a computer geek as well. I've been looking a various mixers for days now. Hard to decide, however, I think I've settled on the Allen & Heath XB10. I really wanted the Presonus, but a bit overkill for what I need (heck, I think the XB10 is too, but what the heck). I'm also still leaning towards the A&H ZED60 10FX. I like the Mackie VLZ4 line, but it doesn't support USB and I would still need to purchase an audio interface and compressor, etc. The XB10 has a built in compressor and limiter.Originally Posted by AlBurr
I hope I get all the cables and accessories I need to get this thing hooked up once I do make a decision.
Well I have the mixer and unfortunately haven't had a chance to use it. Prior to plugging it I want to be certain that the power is clean as I don't want to risk damage. Long story short the Furman power conditioner I have requires a 20amp circuit which I should be getting installed next week. Maybe by the first of the year I will have my first show under my belt...
Wow! A 20amp Power Conditioner most certainly will handle anything imaginable but I decided to stick with a 15amp unit and just roll with it. Anyway, I'm looking forward to your product review of your mixer after you get it up and running.
OK just an update. I have the electrician coming to the house on Thursday to install the new outlet and breaker. In the meantime I have been setting up all of my various supporting elements. E.G. getting comfortable with Wirecast, Mic technique, WordPress, making my studio look cooletc...etc...etc. This hobby sure feeds my OCDisms!! Between screwing around with setting up my social network connections, streaming outlets I am very busy. It's a good thing I don't have any deadlines or commitments or even better expectations

Hello Al,
Did you ever get that A&H 14-2 configured and running? I decided to finally purchase a mixer but I've been pulling my hair out trying to decide on which one. Okay, maybe that was a bad figure of speech. Anyway, haven't heard anything from you so I'm interested in knowing your status with that rig.
It's up and running but overkill for me. I think as usual my eyes were bigger than my stomach. I could have likely been satisfied with a mixer half the price. However given that I haven't yet officially launched my podcast that's still hard to say. The new Behringer X18 looks interesting but it's that new shiny object so caveat emptor...
