I just bought a mixer, 3 XLR cables and 3 XLR mics for $300.
I would look into the Mackie ProFX12V2, it's $250. Then look at the Behringer XM8500. And you can put together a good setup at a decent price. You're probably looking at $400-ish, for what you're wanting.
You could go for an omnidirectional condenser mic, but you're going to have to be careful about background noise, as it's probably going to pick everything up. Also, you'll have to be more mindful of everyone's speaking volume and nervous ticks (tapping feet, clicking pens, for example). You'll want to treat your room where you're recording, using blankets and rugs to deaden the sound.
We used to record with Four Hosts using the Blue Yeti and Audacity. It works fine, but the sound isn't as ideal as you could get from a well treated studio or using a mixer and dynamic mics.
I don't think headphones are a super necessity, but if you're using an omnidirectional mic, it'll help you be more mindful of who needs to speak louder.
I am a streamer who is looking to improve my set-up over this summer. One of the things I am looking to do is separate the audio from my game system to a USB mixer I am looking to pick-up. My big tradeoff would be that no longer I'd have separate tracks on OBS Studio (where it records the audio) but with easily being able to adjust audio live better through a mixer I think it's worth it.

So my set-up would be Game System HDMI Out -> Capture Card HDMI-In -> Capture Card HDMI-Out -> HDMI Splitter -> HDMI Audio Converter Extractor -> USB Audio Mixer.
Essentially after the audio converter, I'd plug this in (RCA Cables) into here (L and R Tape In on the board.) Sorry if I'm not technical enough...still learning a lot. Is this correct and would it work well?
How would I be able to send the sound out to a venue's sound system and then be able to control what they can hear on it while maintaining the stream on my computer captures a different sound?
For example: When an actual match is being played I do NOT want the commentators being heard on the live PA system as it would disrupt the competitors...so at that point I'd want the sound going to the venue system to be turned off...but once the game ends I'd want them to speak to the venue about any deals showing on screen, in general getting the crowd hype, etc. How would that be possible?
Thanks for any help you can give!
I sold all of my individual USB/1394 inputs and am currently using a [Mackie ProFX12v2] (https://www.amazon.com/Mackie-PROFX12V2-12-Channel-Compact-Effects/dp/B00VUU7B7E) as my USB input device. The latency is low and the ample tone shaping controls on the mic preamp are oddly decent.
Revalver4: I'm torn by this. The whole reason I've gone away from AmpSims on PC is due to the fact that the sound was meh. However, Pixxy's review gives me much to think about. At $99 it's almost impulse buy cheap.....
Behringer has a reputation, like em or not.
Sounds like you don't want to break the bank either, so Mackie is great. Just depends how much you want to spend.
8 channel for $72 Basic but does the job for the price.
12 channel with effects and usb
16 channel w/effects, rack mount, etc
Hi all! So i'm negotiating with someone to buy this mixer Yamaha EMX5000-20. A little context. The guy i'm talking to doesn't personally own it, he's just in charge of the very small campus organization that i used to mix on this very board for. They are looking to downsize since the Yamaha is big and heavy. He was planning on listing it online for $800. Which i think would be out of the question for anyone, not just me looking for an obnoxiously good deal. I don't want to pay more that $400 which is a tall order but i offered to earn that discount by assisting in getting him a good deal on the replacement system since his knowledge is limited and i know a seller.
So he said they had been looking at a [Mackie CR1604 VLZ] (https://reverb.com/item/441076-mackie-cr1604-vlz-16-channel-mic-line-mixer). Which is smaller and lighter but they still could do with half the channels. It's also unpowered but they are looking at active speakers. I was going to recommend something along these lines (or). Which is what i was considering for myself (the yamaha is overkill for the few friends weddings i'm doing) I don't have any other gear yet, was going to buy based on what happens with the board.
Is $800 insane for the yamaha?
Thoughts on the Amazon options? or am i stupid for considering Amazon? They are just always on sale!
I know it's long, any feedback would be awesome!
PS, does anyone know what year the Yamaha was discontinued?
Mixer wise, it looks like I'm needing something like [this] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VUU7B7E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_7t15ybQ59V0M1), right? Cause I'd need the 6 XLR inputs for everyone? It's a steep price for something I currently do as a hobby, but i could save up for it, and possibly the rest of the cast would chip in.
I use one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-MG12XU-12-Input-4-Bus-Effects/dp/B00IBIVLKQ/
There's also:
https://www.amazon.com/Mackie-PROFX12V2-12-Channel-Compact-Effects/dp/B00VUU7B7E/
https://www.amazon.com/Alto-Professional-Live-1202-12-Channel/dp/B00HG8WGU6/
Etc.
The biggest difference would probably be a better mic preamp in something with a bit larger $tag. You're still not getting premium preamps or plugs, but they're generally going to be better than what a basic, el-cheapo mixer offers.
Hap hap hello there! I am a bot and you linked to Amazon.
