No issues on mine, now over eight years old.Actually, they designed it to work with both kinds. You can only find them used, but they're well built.

It works without a driver, currently on Mac OS 10.12 (High Sierra).

Mine is an early gen with serial starting in 003. Detailed and subtle EQ, four busses, six aux sends and 16 firewire channels in and out if you want to record or mix with a computer. The Onyx 1640i is a real treat for modular if you've got the space.

Knobs are tiny though and fairly cramped, but there's no patch cables in the way.

It's quite well featured for such a small package, but no EQ of course. No noise to speak of, clean pots and mute switches, one effect send with stereo return, one monitor send, two sets of outputs (TRS and XLR) + headphone out. It works fine with eurorack levels (-10 dBV or +4 dBu choice of input levels on each channel). I've used another one with my modular for a few months before moving to the Mackie 1640i. I've been using one over five years for keys and synth modules without any issues. I have a couple of their patchbays and they're pretty excellent quality for the money, so I would bet on their line mixer to be just as good.

I used to have the 20ch version of the exact same mixer. Too bad Carvin is out of the pro gear business now (California taxation and fabrication regulations killed off that part of Carvin's business). Not bad for $360.00 new with free shipping. Eight of the twelve channels have their own 3 band EQ with a wide range semi-parametric EQ for midrange shaping (15db cut/boost - 100hz to 5khz). plus four monitor sends as well! There are also two 9 band graphic EQs. I also have a Carvin Concert Series 12ch which has a shit-ton of aux bus sends and FX sends (total of NINE). that is the only problem among the four of them. All four are in excellent condition, the worst one is missing one rubber foot. The most costly one was $105.00 shipped free (also used). The least costly one was $65.00 shipped free (used, obviously). two 1202-VLZ3, one 1202-VLZPro plus my wife's 1202-VLZ3 (so four altogether). I'd love to know if anyone knows any other post fader options that don't break the bank?Д¬kwjr wrote:I have the Mackie 802vlz4, which is fantastic. People used to slag off behringer gear, and their mixers in particular, but they seem to have come a long way since then and this model has been well received. Its post eq, rather than post fader, but has a nice range of eq, 4 aux sends, and one knob compressors.

Im temped to upgrade to the behringer ufx 1604. They are out of production now, so it's a time bomb waiting to fail, and only has 2 aux sends. I settled on an Alesis multimix 16 usb2.0. I don't want to be a 'real' sound engineer. I understand why - in the context of recoding live bands, but this workflow works well for me. 'Real' sound engineers tell me this is 'wrong'. These are like rocking horse poo - almost impossible to find! But I like to be able to record multiple takes of my analogue eq tweaks, fader movements, and general dub tinkering - then add extra digital eq, fx, compression, etc to each track in the daw. I'm a bit odd, in that I like analogue multi-tracking mixer with post fader sends.
