Looking into buying a mixer

[Leicester]

Yeah, I'm currently in the market for a DJ mixer. I just want something relatively simple to setup. I'm looking for something not too big, just something to add some bass onto my voice. I am new to buying mixers so this will be my first one so if I sound a bit of a newb excuse me.

none of that makes sense mixers as in turntables, cd mixers or what because your on about puttin bass on your voice :s
if you explain what you need properly il be more then happy to give you ideas etc.

Hmm, basically just want to plug in my microphone to the mixer and add some bass onto my voice. However my microphone is USB. It requires a mini usb cable so the cable is detachable. Is there a mini usb cable which will go into that mixer or will i have to buy a new mic?

[Hayd93]

Ps when you get it (if you do) o put bass on the voice put the LF or low frequancys up a bi on the mixer and taht should add some thump to the voice. Then have a mess with high frequancys and lower them just slighty maybe.

That mixer i put above should do taht just fine ;)

Edit: usb ewwwwwww nope that wont go into the mixer new mic you will need a jack or a xlr input to go into the mixer

odea. this mic was £70. I wonder if theres a converter thing from mini usb to xlr perhaps

as far as i am aware nope. And £70 for that no offence but i think you got ripped off badly. For £70 you could just about maybe get a behringer C3 wich is a pretty good mic as well as it being verry well known

[Leicester]

not that this makes any difference, but it looks like a pro one so i thought it'd of worked with anything :(. Seems im in the market for a mic too, you recommend any cheap but good ones?

erm behringer c3 £70. My defonition of cheap for a mic and yours are totally differnt probebly. So give me your price range

[Leicester]

possibly around £30

Hmm my mum has this one, it's a pretty good mixer for whipping up the odd smoothie or milkshake.

been told about this mic. Now for £30 you may think it wont sound that good but i have been told for the price it accually aint bad at all.

[Leicester]

ok. a big thank you hayd93, you've helped me quite a lot i owe you one :)

[Colin-Roberts]

imo. It's purely my opinion http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/1874 is a better mic for the extra 3 gbp./ and theres nothing wrong with hyde mixer but for the cost i'd go upto this one: http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/2052 but either will work fine.

Rather stupid question, but how does the mixer connect to my computer?

Phono to mini jack or it may be big jack to little jack. or xlr to mini jack

[Leicester]

Does the cable come supplied you reckon? Also is the xlr what i think it is. like the karaoke microphones?

I am 99.9% sure they will not supply it :). Xlr is basicly 3 pins

XLR Adapter: http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ModuleNo=28103&doy=18m7
6.5 to 3 mm adapter: http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ModuleNo=1238&doy=18m7

Would do the trick..except it would be mono audio..
