Digital Mixer

[SOMM]

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a new digital mixer for our worship services... any thoughts? I'm leaning towards the Behringer X32 compact. We don't need a lot of fancy stuff, just 8 drum mics, bass, electric, acoustic, + 4 vocals and MC mic.

Any other thoughts out there? Hoping to purchase something soon and I would love some input!

The X32 is great - way more bang for the buck than you'd have got even 5 years ago.

Yup.... bought the X32 and am loving it so far. Great sound... It actually sounds cleaner (with the digital snake) than the analog desk did with the "normal" snake. I guess shows more how old the analog stuff was and not so much how incredible the X32 is (although it is quite good).

Nothing like having compression and gates available on every channel to help clean up over eager musicians in a very "live" room!

Still getting my head around the whole thing though... so much to do, just gotta figure out how to make it do what I want!
