I use this mixer for a ukelele band for four mics and an instrument. Sound is good, and a good range of effects. It,s easy to use and robustly built. I don,t put the bass or drums through it, but we are all pleased with the sound. We also bought the carrying case and a footswitch for the effects. I have not used the usb output for recording yet, but am pleased with the performance and value for money.
