[QUOTE="math, post: 128881, member: 11512"] I got the Alesis mixer on Saturday... and took it back this morning. Aside from being quite a noisy mixer - the aux sends had a LOT of hiss on them - the USB connectivity simply didn't send any audio to either my Mac or my PC. Added to this, the version of Cubase LE that came with it was lacking a serial number, so I couldn't install it, and when I tried to mail Alesis tech support to ask them about it, I found out that the email address they provided in the manual didn't exist. I'd never, ever buy another piece of Alesis equipment again. I ended up getting my money back, and I went the sensible route and bought a Griffin iMic this morning (it was a toss-up between that and the MacAlly iVoice, but I've heard really good things about the Griffin). Not actually tried using it yet, but I've plugged it in and Jaguar picks it up (Panther is on its way to me in the post, I'm not going for Tiger until it's been out a while) so it's all looking good. I'm just going to get a normal mixer and route it through the iMic instead (possibly a Spirit or a Mackie). So, my advice would be to steer clear of the Alesis Multimix 8USB - I'm not the only person who's had problems with it - and just use the iMic (or equivalent) and a decent analogue mixer. Hope this helps :) [/QUOTE]
