Behringer DDX3216 Digital Mixer...the description says it has 16 Busses...im just looking for a new mixer that has more than 8 direct outs for studio recording...right now we have 14 tracks of audio able to be recorded...but only preamps for 8 of them....
question is...ive been looking for those keywords "Direct Outs", like my Berry UB2442FX has...and cant find anything under a gazillion trillion dollars...will this mixer have 16 outputs that i can send to tape?
and does anyone have any suggestions for other mixers that can pull this off?

Mar 10, 2005 03:49 pm Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but those 16 busses will do what you want.
Mar 10, 2005 03:53 pm Channel inserts, sub groups, and aux sends can all be used as direct outs also.
Mar 12, 2005 01:04 am how can channel inserts become direct outs??

Mar 12, 2005 01:31 am by putting the 1/4" cables in half way, it works. I ran into the same problem , the work around with the same mixer was , you have a # of aux outs too , so i took the sterio channels and sent them to different aux outs and that gave me a few more channels .
Mar 12, 2005 06:15 am Allen and heath mix wiz 16:2. Dunno what you mean by a gillion trillion dollars though.
16 in, 16 direct outs, 16 pramps, 6 aux buses, 2 master out, digital FX, etc. V good mixer
Mar 12, 2005 02:11 pm by putting a cable in halfway does this degrade the sound at all? ive also seen cables that are made for this purpose in MF
Mar 14, 2005 03:22 pm no signal degradation at all....as for special cables for this, i'd like to check 'em out, cuz in all honesty, if they're chargin' more than they would a regular cable of the same legnth, it'd be a ripoff.

Mar 14, 2005 05:02 pm it may be an actual channel insert cable. This has one stereo jack on one end, and two mono jacks on the other end. This is to use with a compressor or some other inline component. The signal goes out to one of the mono jacks, then comes back in through the other mono jack back into the channel.
this wouldn't be what you need for our purpose here. only a 1/4" mono on one end, and whatever you'd need (rca, 1/4", etc.) on the other end to connect to the sound card (or whatever)
