Quality:

It's lost a few slider knobs and some of the metal posts that the slider knobs fit on have bent. But, they all still work! which to me yells quality. It was because of my neglect that there are damages but it's their quality that has kept it working.

Overall:

First off, I look at this unit as more of an interface than a mixing  board. Having said that here's an updated review (I left one 3 years and  9 months ago).

I've been using this board (abusing really) for almost 4 years and it has been extremely durable!!

Sure  it's missing a lot of features that would make it stand out but it  really is a great board. I now have the presonus firestudio2626 and a  digimaxfs but still use this for the preamps. I can't help it, I love  the way vocals sound through this thing! I've used some JoeMeeks preamps  here and there and so what. This thing has done it's job making great  recordings and I've used it live over 50 times at least.

I also  ran an Internet radio show for about a year and a half with it. I've  done recordings just off of this with no other preamps that still get  regular radio play and sound awesome! I would never have upgraded to  presonus if Alesis would have been smart about this unit and added more  output channels!!! That's the only thing this unit needs. If it had a  good 4 to 6 stereo outs (8 to 12 monos) instead of just the stereo pair  It could be perfect. I've had trouble over the years being able to route  things out of my DAW in the ways that I want. I'm hoping they upgrade  this unit in the near future with more features and outs, otherwise I'll  be getting a Presonus Studiolive. Because let's face it the multimix16  has the potential to be a very powerful rival against some of the best  interfaces out there!

After nearly 2 years with this unit now, I have some advice for you. Find another interface. First, mine had to go in for service within a couple months. Their "service" is 3rd party, not Alesis themselves, and their phone customer service is pretty bad. Secondly, while I was trying to get mine to work (which included buying not one but TWO different dedicated PC's to try it with), they had a statement on their website that they would NEVER make Win Vista or 64bit drivers (the comment has since been removed). So I bought a Win XP laptop just to use with this, finally get all 16 channels up at once....And many of the channels were noisy. In a 1-yr-old mixer/interface. Simply UNACCEPTABLE. Now I have a Win 7 64bit machine, and just use this is a mixer (on the 4 channels that don't make too much noise) and use an Echo AudioFire 2 for interfacing. I'll be buying a PreSonus FireStudio Tube and selling this (with operational disclosure) on eBay, probably for parts, if there's anything good left in it. After their lackluster support, HORRIBLE driver support and incredibly bad quality issues on this unit, I'm off Alesis (and newly-acquired Akai) for life.

The only negatives with this mixer are the external power supply and the limited EQ, other that these two Items the unit works and sounds great. Alesis has released new drivers and works well with even Snow Leopard on Mac. I don,t use PC systems so I can't comment on that it does couple with Mac Garage Band witch is not amateur anymore ex. 4 band parametric EQ all channels etc. It also works well with a live band just be aware of limited EQ and learn to work around that. The effects work very well for live as most live just requires good vocal reverb. Records without the effects as you usually add these after recording.

I have had this for about 3 months and its old technology already. It is useless on my new computer running 64 bit vista. I cant download new drivers because they dont exist. while on my old computer running xp recording sounded great best of any equipment Ive owned but make sure you have 32bit vista or less xp to run this board. Its now an orniment on my desk. a very expensive investment down the drain until alesis makes the new drivers needed to run it.
