The Best No Input Mixer? Comparison & Shootout
No input mixing is a technique pioneered by Toshimaru Nakamura, which involves using feedback to turn a normal audio mixer into a chaotic, noisy, synth-like musical instrument.
In this video I take a look at four different mixers to see how they respond to no input mixer feedback patching, and what kinds of sounds we can get out of them. We'll look at a Mackie ProFX10v3, a Yamaha MG10Xu, an Allen & Heath ZEDi-10FX, and a Korg Volca Mix Analog Performance Mixer. I'll share some of the key things I look for in a mixer for no input mixing, lots of sounds and patch examples, and my takeaway on the best mixer of the bunch.
