i am planning to buy a good mixer for live sound to go with my bose l1 compact not more than $300,i need a mixer with effects ,i was wondering about the mackie pro fx12 ,will this be good for me

Just curious, but does your arranger have no mike input? If it does, and you are doing OMB, why not use that, with its' built-in effects?

If you need it for a larger ensemble, ignore all the above

hi diki i need it for the larger assembly

I have several mixers--3 Behringers, 1 Yamaha, and my favorite the Peavey PV 10.
All provide great value for the dollar, but I particularly like the Peavey for its variety of controls, in-outs, and effects. It's also very reliable.

My favorite go to mixers are the Mackie CFX12..and Alesis multiMix6..

I love when needed my Alesis Multimx 8

please suggest more mixers ,so that i can chose one

I have use and own, Yamaha, also use at home and as a backup the Alesis Multimix, both are really good and depending on how many channels you may need, (under 12 channels) in both brands, the prices are under your price.

This is what I'd probably go for... http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MG82cx

Or this if you need larger: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/closeup/MG124cx--Main

Those compressors are an amazingly handy extra to have, for taming your vocals a bit, on top of the excellent effects and simple design...

Great bang for the buck.
