A Good Starter Unit
ART USBMIX4 Project Series 4-Channel Mixer and Computer Interface
Reviewed by Allan Ram on B&H Photo Video
After first month of usage, I can safely attest to the unit's functionality, reliability and ease of use within my current setup. I'm a hobbyist composer who needed to get first footing into the digital recording realm. Perusal of current products led to realization that a mixer-interface hybrid would be best fit for my context. With limited budget, an old under-powered pc and unwillingness to deal with any steep learning curves; I conducted my evaluations. ART USBMIX4 topped the list. In main setup, digital piano (Left & Right) line outs connect to Channels 1&2 w/ respective Pan controls set to L and R. Drum-guitar unit line outs go to 3&4. Headphones used to monitor. USB connection to pc provides electrical supply. To record acoustic-electric, condenser mic plugs into CH1 (for 48V) and drum-guitar unit's individual guitar out into CH2. The AUX-MP3 IN serves well for my guitar amp's stereo line out when required. Admittedly there is significant hiss when CH1 gain increased beyond middle position with mic connected but I get acceptable results despite that constraint. INST-HI-Z on CH2 is rather bland and underwhelming; perhaps this may suffice for DAW software effect plug-ins for which my pc not geared up. All considered, I am quite pleased with my decision to purchase and have no regrets. ... More
So far, so good

I bought this device in order to mix my acoustic guitar preamp, which requires phantom power, and my electric guitar. I can match the respective output levels and process a single signal or pan them stereo and process separately. Works perfectly for my application. Haven't used the USB interface. Not sure if I ever will. I was also surprised at how heavy it is. Time will tell how robust the components are, but the chassis is very solid and has the feel of piece of pro gear.
Only Channel 1 has phantom power!!

So you can NOT run both microphones at the same time. Kind of pointless to send two of everything in the package, and then you can only use ONE at a time! Pretty disappointed with this- if the mixer had phantom power on both channels, it would be a decent package.
ONLY ONE CHANNEL HAS PHANTOM POWER

WHICH MAKES THE SECOND MIC USELESS- RETURNING.
