[QUOTE="Eric Swanberg, post: 6502, member: 3654"] Hi everyone- I'm new here and very very junior varsity: still learning the ropes of how to run a mixer, but hopefully you will afford me some patience. Most of my experience with audio is from my work in church, and that's where my question today comes from. We currently use a Yamaha DM1000 digital mixer for the band at church. Our church is very small (80 people) and we meet in the basement of a comedy club ATM where we send a mixed output to the house system. We are hoping to eventually get our own building where we can meet, which may be relevant in deciding which system to get. The general consensus at church is that the Yamaha is overkill for our needs. We usually have electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, kick, snare/hi-hat and 2 vocals, along with some bumper music from itunes. Given that, should we downsize to something a bit more simple on the mixer end? If yes, are there any suggestions for a good (probably cheaper) mixer we could get? We may one day get more drum mics and add another guitar, so expandability is sort of a factor, but not huge. If this is in the wrong forum, could someone please enlighten me? I hope I haven't violated any forum rules! Thanks for your help! [/QUOTE]
