Looking for affordable podcast mixer or for your band?

 I was looking for affordable desktop mixer that can be used for my podcast and for my band's silent practise. I found this on ebay, really good mixing console for its price. Obviously second-hand but after I cleaned it, it looks new.

When I tested it, I was really surprised. Sounds amazing. I owned a Behringer Xenyx 1002fx and Im happy with it until we used it for band's silent practise. It can't handle all the instruments and vocals. It gets distorted/clipping and the in-ear concept isnt good. But the bonus to that mixer is that its really portable and it's got built in effects.

On the other hand, this Behringer MX802A is heavier, bulkier and got no built in effects. So you might need to think about that. It's not really massive but it's bigger than the other one. It's got FX send and return so it's not a worry that it doesnt have built in fx.

Leave in the comments section if you own one of this and what's your experience.
