"I have the Behringer, or one similar, and have been using it for over 10 years with no issue."

"XR18 is your best bang for your buck with recent price drop."

"I would suggest getting a USB mixer (like the Behringer you proposed) with a soundcard."

"You could look into something like the Behringer Xenyx Q802USB."

"Another option if you can forgo built in controls is a tablet controlled mixer such as a Behringer XR12."

"I own Model 12 and for my use-case of up to 4 synths + bass guitar or small jam session with friends it's sufficient."

"We went Kenwood and are very happy."

"+1 for Kenwood, have used for home baking and commercially. No regrets."

"The answer to this is nearly always Kenwood in UK/Europe."

Mackie

4.3

(7)

Soundcraft

4.2

(5)

"Soundcraft Ui24R. You don't think you'll need 22 physical inputs and 10 aux sends until you do."

"I picked up a Soundcraft Ui24r a year ago and pretty glad I did."

"I really like the Soundcraft GB2R in my synth set up."

"I used to use Mackie and upgraded to soundcraft. Both work great but the Soundcraft has better sound."
