Hi
Im thinking about buying the Alesis - MultiMix 8USB 8-Channel Mixer for its USB connection posibility to the compueter but i cant seem to see the USB connector or a way to connect the units ( mixer - computers) by looking at the pictures and the catalog.
Is this feature real, is there a real and useful way to hook up the mixer to the computer using USB? PLease help soon

Reference Manual quote: Use a USB cable to connect the USB port to a compoter. Do not use a USB hub, as hubs introduce timing glitches to USB communication. Unquote.

I just happen to see this in the Reference Manual so I thought I'd pass it along. Another thing, tech support will have to send you the updated hookup instructions. The Reference Manual doesn't have it's directions straight. You can also download the hookup directions thru Google.

I just started getting orientated with the Alesis MultiMix USB 8 Mixer then got a Digidesign Digi 002 Rack with Pro Tools LE 6.9 which has been a real headache for me. But that's another story. For $150 I think the Alesis mixer is worth the price, once you get it setup. Another thing that the manual doesn't mention, you have to get two RCA cables to connect the 2 TRACK OUT of the mixer to the 2 TRACK IN.

I hope this helps.
