I got the Multimix 8 USB2.0 mainly for the 8 audio inputs, and as such it is great. It also serves perfectly well as a mixer on its own, and the "guitar" input button on channel 3/4 is handy for knocking out ideas without routing through a separate preamp or effects box. The bundled version of Cubase LE is a bit old, but for multitrack recording there's no faulting it. The drivers on the CD are incredibly old- search for and download the ones on the Alesis website! Integration with audio apps on my old Macbook worked perfectly once the drivers were installed, I'm a heavy user of Renoise and being able to line-in several tracks with full automation is heaven. The build quality is solid, and it's a total stunner for the price.

The Alesis Multimix 8 mixer was quite well built but the internal effects were not to my liking. The seemed designed for someone to play guitar into a computer more than for vocals. In other words, I wanted it for recording but most recording software provide effects (or plugins) so it was unnecessary for the board to have them. The few that I might have used for vocals in a live situation were not very impressive. I ended up returning the board for a Mackie ProFX8 from Andertons for not too much more, with better effects in my opinion.
