The Alesis iMultimix 8 iPod Mixer/Recorder has a rugged construction, giving one the confidence that it is useful for a variety of applications. The ability to plug this unit into your digital audio workstation via USB and make direct 2-track recordings is a nice feature; with recording enabled on the iPod, it is possible to make two simultaneous recordings, one to the iPod and one to the computer. In such a scenario, if you run out of space on the iPod, your PC recording will save you, and if your computer crashes during recording, you still have the iPod. One feature I would like to see that is not included is the ability to add effects to the iPod when it is playing. The iPod is mapped to the same channels the PC is mapped to during playback. This can be accomplished, however, buy routing the control room outputs to the line inputs via short quarter inch cables. Then all the built-in effects can be applied to iPod playback. The built-in effects are quite impressive, including a variety of envelope settings and reverbs. Of particular interest are the effects numbered 70-79, which ar pitch effects. Using these effects it is possible for a vocalist to harmonize with him or herself in a live setting, or for a single horn player to sound like a section. An obvious use of this mixer is for a live band that wants to play tunes during their breaks, as well as record their sets to the iPod. Although only two tracks may be simultaneously recorded to the iPod, the functionality is good enough that the product is worthy of serious consideration for anyone who wants to use the iPod as a production tool.
