For live gigs, this alone is worth the extra upfront expense. Plus, the workflow with a digital mixer is simply smoother. Plus, the reduced noise of digital circuitry is always welcome. You're also not limited to the input channels for controlling inputs (since all signals are digital anyway).

Many will include signal processing capabilities onboard, saving you from the tyranny of carrying around separate reverbs, compressors, etc.

But they give you so much more for the money. But as more and more music production moves entirely to the digital realm, going with analog gear, especially mixers, makes little sense.ĭigital mixers tend to be more expensive than their analog counterparts. Sure, analog gear has a characteristic warmth that digital still can't replicate faithfully. At this point, I thin it's safe to say that the digital vs analog war is mostly settled.
