The QSC Audio TouchMix-8 Compact Digital Mixer has the functionality to satisfy demanding professionals combined with a range of features and functions that help the less experienced user achieve quality results.
Compact and CompleteTouchMix mixers are completely self-contained. They require no external PC or video display. The graphic, color touch-screen provides display of and access to mix parameters. Mixer parameters may be adjusted on the screen or via the physical rotary encoder. Frequently used functions can be accessed or controlled using hardware buttons.
TouchMix may also be controlled remotely by means of Wi-Fi connection to wireless iOS devices. The available Remote Control App controls all mixer parameters and the mixer includes a WiFi adapter that creates the network connection between the mixer and the hand-held device. No external network hardware is required. To sound their best, musicians need to hear themselves. With four (TouchMix-8) or ten (TouchMix-16) auxiliary output channels, TouchMix has ample stage monitor mixing capability. Both models have the ability to drive multiple, wired stereo in-ear monitors directly.
TouchMix is also capable of direct recording to an external USB hard drive – no external computer is required. All inputs plus a stereo mix are created in 32-bit broadcast wave format. Tracks can also be played back on the mixer or imported into most DAW software for over-dubs and post production.
Finally, the TouchMix comes complete with its own padded carrying case, for transport and protection. Wherever your music takes you, the TouchMix will be there, ready to take the stage to help you achieve the most ideal sound for your audience.- Features

- This is not an inexpensive toy but instead meets the professional standards required of a working band. It has proved to be worth the cost and then some.
- This was a simple decision since I was replacing a 30 yr old mixer and had recently seen the QSC board in action for another band. My main concerns were weight (my older mixer and effects were both bulkier and heavier) and clarity (my older equipment was a bit muddy). Those requirements were met but to my surprise, the QSC interface was intuitive making it easy to get up and running very quickly. Additionally, the ability to save "Scenes" has allowed me to begin to safely experiment with additional features by allowing me to always return to the last best settings.
