Soundcraft Notepad-8FX

Good for the money

But not perfect for quality - phones output is noisy. Overall solid4 stars for the quality for the money.

Great compact mixer

I bought this to firstly fit on my conductors stand alongside my tablet and secondly cos it has a nice Lexicon Reverb ! All I need is one mic and stereo tracks so this ticks all the boxes if I decide to bring my keyboard player I can plug her in too and give her a mic ! :-)

Perfect mixer for a home studio

Perfect mixer for a home studio, it is small and convinient and the sound is very good!

This mixer is perfect for me. It has good quality effects chorus reverb delay and high quality sound in general. Easy to use and compact. I connect my mic and pedals and speakers for my singing rehearsals. Also I connect my laptop for playback.

Soundcraft

Top quality sound. Effect is very good. Very good sound.

Great sound, great portability!

I've had this for some time, recorder voices with it, and bass. It gets the job done. Simple, intuitive with great pre-amps.

Good Little Mixer

I purchased this mixer for my new setup for solo gigs in smaller venues. I am very pleased with it. The packaging was good (well protected) .

Having used the larger Soundcraft desk for my other PA I found it to be familiar. The quality is superior to my old Behringer desk of a similar size. It feels sturdy and well built. I've generally been impressed by Soundcraft, Lexicon & Digitech products I have purchased in the past and this is no exception.

Pros:

- Good desk for the size

- Good responsive EQ

- Clear Layout

- Well Built

- Compact easy to travel with

- USB audio interface.

- Good quality built-in effects. (very nice reverb)

Cons

- No on-off switch for Phantom Power ( its always on)

- No Individual controls for effects ( all on one knob), but understandable on this small desk.

Overall it's a good desk the cons are not really a big deal unless you are using it for recording using a ribbon mic or something which would respond badly to the phantom power. I'd recommend it. Feels like it will last me a while and it's nice to have a backup interface.
