How does your audio tech feel about it?

On bigger shows, if I even touched one of my volume knobs, I was "strongly cautioned"

Cheers, Hanon

I know what you mean about the bigger shows - "strongly cautioned" is a fair description.

We play in a lot of different scenarios. A lot of times we have no sound man. We get a sound check before we start but it always seems like the band gets louder as the night wears on. So, I sometimes have to adjust the volume. I normally use 2 keyboards (although I'm trying to get it down to one since I got the NS2) and the other keyboard sometimes needs a little EQ adjustment.

I looked for a similar mixer without finding anything currently available in a 1U rack. I settled for the Behringer RX1602 as the only realistic alternative. An old discontinued mixer that exactly mets your requirements is the Toa D3. I had one many years ago and it did the job fine. You may be able to find one on eBay if you're prepared to wait.

I had looked at the Nady. It appears to be an affordable solution minus the eq. I guess I could eq in some other way.

Anyway, I'm still looking...

Hello walkerdata!can you tell me more about how you controll via ipad?!?

Sorry I wasn't very clear on that post.

I don't control the Nord with an iPad. I use the iPad (and an app named Set List Maker) to display our set list. If you play live and have an ipad, check out that app!

RedLeo,

On your recommendation, I found a TOA D-3 and it's on it's way to me. I'll let you know how it works out.

Update: I bought a used TOA D-3 (and it sure was used) and tried it out. A little too noisy for me.

Here's what I settled on: An ART MX821 mixer. Just what I was looking for. It's nice and quiet and works like a charm.
