  Audio mixer

  Posted by Randolph Harrison on February 27, 2016 at 6:19 am

  I am editing videos with my MacBook Pro, using FCP and sometimes Premier. I have a usb from the computer to a Fios DAC and then to powered Mackie speakers. Instead of the Fios, should I consider using a Mackie Pro8 mixer to have more control over my sound monitoring? Is there something else that I need or should consider? Sorry for my ignorance on mixers. Thank you for your time.

  what more control do you need?
  the DAC has a volume control, i believe.

  what i find useful is a small Behringer mixer.
  separate volume control for the powered speakers, and my headphones.
