What mixers do you use with your mic?

What mixers do you use with your mic? Share with me your experiences with the mixers you have used before. How much of a difference does it make to the overall quality of the recording? Audio samples accompanying the equipment used is welcome.

I'm currently using a Yamaha MG 10/2 which I bought second hand. I think this model has been discontinued.

This is the first mixer that I own.

Given my rather limited experience with mixers and pro-audio equipment in general, I would be in no position to comment on the precise audio intricacies, perceptible or imaginary.

But as far as I'm concerned as a noob studio hobbyist, there's no noise, everything I've plugged into it and output through it have sounded just like how I thought they should sound. I'm a happy man.

actually its not the mixer that makes the difference to the sound. it is the preamps and maybe the eq on the channel if u used the eq. im currently using a soundcraft spirit powerstation mixer. It does make a big difference to the sound. which is why studio have so many different outboard preamps.

yup exactly... all mixers "should" b equal except for the preamps and the way their eq knobs work. oh yeah noise also =]
