small mixer for playing live?

[era_sand]

i`d like to get myself a mixer for rehearse and maybe playing live.

i just need to mix my laptop(through wich i play midi), mini-disk, voice, and sometimes a guitar and a bass.
i have so far no hardware fx (like compressor, reverb) and i`m thinking about getting the behringer eurorack ub 1204fx-pro.

can anybody tell me something about the quality of the built-in fx? would i do better with a mixer and a seperate multi-fx?

i`m sure i would get better results with buying high-class fx seperately, but as i only need a tiny mixer with some fx...
and of course don`t have the money for more

thanks for your help

I have that mixer
To be honnest the mixer is ok, but the effects suck
SO my advise is, by smaller one without the effects

Hope this helps,

thank you for sharing your experience with that mixer, bucodi. i think this helped me to go
for the fx-less mixer.

cheers

I was looking at the exact same mixer. I too need some FX, especially compression and reverb. my budget is non-existant so i gravitate toward the budget type stuff obviously. I appreciate the advice bucodi, but that sux.

I was also looking at some alesis mixers too, but i think i will go with one of the cheap mackies. http://www.mackie.com/products/dfx6/ -$189 6 channel

No compression, oh well. I'll have to get one later.
