Mixer Output Guide: Mackie VLZ3 |
But at the same time, since I’m also responsible for the quality of the audio, I am skeptically optimistic at best when it comes to the fidelity of bantamweight gear with a “small footprint. Take them out of the l-r mix, assign them to the “group” busses i. That’s fine, because it’s not huge and isn’t that heavy, but it is solidly constructed and 2404-vzl3 sturdy. Each channel strip from features 2404-glz3 mm fader, signal routing and solo buttons, a mute button and pan knob.
But some macike these are panned hard left and right. The delays are just fine, and offer tap tempo right on the front panel-very handy. This allows you to tap out the channel signal without interrupting normal operation. To see the rest, and for definitions, visit The Guide.
There are six other, smaller mixers in the line, ranging from inputs, but the and the bring three new tricks to the party that none of the others have-two onboard effects processors, USB connectivity with your computer, and onboard compressors. Another really cool and unique feature here enables the sending of auxiliaries five and six to your computer via USB for a “unique stereo recording” as stated 2404-vz3 the mixer’s manualbut it’s important to remember that since auxiliaries five and six are fixed in post-fader mode; fader adjustments will change this “unique” recording.
Each subgroup has its own single-knob compressor-like inputsvery nice for creating 2404-vpz3 spank buses and the like. Only reverbs, delays, and choruses are available, but that’s 2404-vlx3 deliberate decision on the part of Mackie.
The EQs sound fantastic as well, and failing the inclusion of fully parametric EQ, Mackie has fixed the frequencies of the shelves in useful, musical locations along the spectrum.
Since the recording can be made directly to the computer, it can be uploaded very quickly, even if basic editing and processing are desired. The compressors 2404-vzl3 surprisingly transparent, considering their fixed 6: There are 20 mic preamps.
By default, inputs will be hard-panned as left and right stereo pairs.
Inputs have their pad button replaced by the single knob to control the compressors on those channels-specifically, it’s the threshold control. All aux sends, whether they are pre-fader or post-fader, are post-insert, post-low cut, post EQ, and post-mute.

Up to 15 dB of boost or cut is available on each. If the compressors sound good, that’s a few less compressors to add pain to my lower back. The VLZ3 mic pres have tons of headroom, are dead quiet, and create no coloration whatsoever-I love these. Above the EQs are knobs representing the mixer’s six auxiliary sends.

There’s got to be someplace on the front panel for this, guys. The two stereo returns can’t be bussed to achieve the same trick as on inputs This is powerful-it makes for quick turnaround of podcast uploads, and can also enable quick editing, processing, and burning of CDs for churchgoers. Now these inputs are panned to the center mono. There are three major features that make this mixer stand out: A headphone jack on the rear panel? But, they can be routed to the aux sends.
Above that is the mixer’s three-band equalizer, with low shelving fixed at 80 Hz, high shelving at 12 kHz, and mids sweepable between Hz and 8 kHz. Copyright c Production Media, Inc. Aux sends are post-fader or can be set to send to the internal effects. Trick to make them mono panned to the center:
