I'm absolutely pleased with my QSC TouchMix 16! I'm using this mixer in a six piece band, and as I'm the bass player AND the "sound guy", the flexibility of this mixer makes my job a whole lot easier. I've used the onboard presets to set up each channel for all instruments and vocalists, and now I can stand out "front of house" and use my smartphone to set levels while doing sound checks, and then while performing onstage I use my tablet mounted on a mic stand during the performance! With it's built-in "wizards" for "Gain Stucture" and "Effects", and the fact that the mixer also has 6 mono auxes (which I use for monitor mixes) and 2 stereo auxes (which are great for in-ear monitor systems), makes this a very powerful live performance tool! The mixer has 12 XLR inputs, 4 combination XLR/TRS inputs, and 2 stereo TRS inputs for a total of 18/20 usable inputs. Enough to service most rock, country, or jazz groups. If you have a large show band with a ton of instruments and vovalists, then this may not be your mixer. But for a simple, straightforward band playing a small to medium club, hall, or outdoor gig, it works great. Best to get a solid case for it (the included gig bag/soft case seems a little weak to me) and also best utilized with your tablet or smartphone to get the full use of this very versatile mixer.Read full review

Touchmix is easy to use. The in built help is enough for me, but you can also look at several instruction video's on the QSC website. The WiFi implementation can do with a bit of re-engineering because I can't get it to work on an external WiFi network. But if I let the internal WiFi router do the job, it works fine.

This is a great little board. I use it for live sound as well as live event recording. It's very intuitive and user friendly. You can plug it in, turn it on and make sound within a few minutes. As you become more familiar with the features, you can get more creative with effects, etc. I REALLY like the recording features. I used to carry around an ADAT unit. Maybe 40 pounds in a rack case. With the Touchmix, I carry a solid state USB 3 drive. Weighs maybe a couple of ounces. I love working with this board.

It's a great small profile mixer for doing doing medium size sound reinforcement gigs. I didn't consult the manual much when getting it, (although I'm used to mixing on many different consoles) but others less experienced than myself that I know tried it and spent maybe 20 mins reading manual, and then finding the mixer very easy to use.......small learning curve. Recommended for the average gig.....don't get this if you want to mix large shows requiring many inputs.

Bought this desk after a big fail of a live recording on November 4 2015, for my Jam Band, "Cactus Jade Efrain" had a very sofisticated system whith wordclass preamps, Aurora, telefunken V76m, Capi 28's, focusrite original ISA 215, Electrodyne 711L, etc, in the end it failed cause of bad monitoring mixes, can't jam if you can't hear the other mucisians, so i decided to buy the touchmix 16 to have a simple solution that could handle the house mix, 4 different monitor mixes, and the recording of all inputs, Being a Professional sound engineer with 35 years on the job, I thought this would be a practical solution, with the obvious downgrade in sound, but none of that, this puppy sounds right up there with the big boys, I have never seen the manual, don't need it, it's so friendly, and if I get an idea to do any EQ or add Effects to a sound it always instantly delivers what I'm after, whith grace quality and charm, the recording feauture allows me to be a mucisian, and forget about de recording system, all my Keyboards, Drum machines, and XOX roland clones are always patched in the machine, so everything is always connected, wana record??? press rec and you are cooking, For me it was my new love, I was singing it's Praises all day long Too good to be true? Last November 26, we repeated the concert in the garden, when I plugged the desk it wouln't turn on, Big Fail again, we replaced the desk witha Crest XR 20 feeding a RME UFX, but I lost all of my Eqs and Fxs that were on the QSC, and it wasn´t the same........ For me it's like an Egyptian Curse, each time I want to switch from being a sound engineer to a musician, the tech fails.......If I'm engineering everythig works fine. I will have to pay the hefty ticket to send it to the factory and back for a repair, I'm in CHILE!!!!!! and get a spare as well, as for now this is the desk I want to be a musician and forget about, engineering, leads,fx racks, etc CheersRead full review
