I like it that it has a lot plenty of auxiliary out. I can separate my subwoofer from the tops. I can mute the subs during speech and I can totally control the subs during the dancing part.
I have all 3, the 8,16 and 32 and they're awesome. On my older TouchMix 8 and 16 no update is needed as they are perfect just as they are. LOL i brought my 8 and 16 for $500 and $650 back in the day. Oh and on your Fastset table cover start with the zipper side two legs first and then the back two legs, 10 seconds DONE! great table
Hi Aaron, I'm starting to see the QSC Touchmix 8 back in stock. So, now that you've had the Touchmix for over a month- is the $1,200 price tag worth it? Any regrets?
Presets: I use this for band so it's super easy. however, I have a gig coming up where I will use tracks. Which setting would I use for that? All the presets are for instrumentation, not tracks. Thanks so much!I can;t find anything anywhere about how DJs use the presets - only for vicals for speeches and such. What about the music?
Thanks for the video! You mentioned ceremonies. I mainly do outside ceremonies, and besides the occasional drop out due to operator error! I deal with wind! Do you think the QSC will help with that? Thanks again!
What else needs to be done with this device that a firmware update would change? I think that the device does what it does and after the last update, all bugs were removed... I have the Touchmix 16 and it's brilliant...
True- I have not had one issue with it other than needing a new wifi dongle (which they sent me). I guess I'm used to software updates and improvements with other gear. One update could be new mic/instrument presets
@@AaronStrawn The presets really are just a starting point as each input provides infinite variability... Let me know what preset you would need that isn't included...
So you gave up on the Flow already... lol I just purchased two to replace my Soundcraft UI 16s. PS The UI16 has twice as many channels, AFS, DBX Processing, and Lexicon Effects, and only costs $500, best bang for your buck digital mixer IMHO. I am still going to use mine for live sound reinforcement, but for Doing, the Flow 8 is perfect for me.
Of course I did lol. Cool little mixer for sure, but I was really sold on that feedback wizard feature. I’ll check out that soundcraft. I’ve had others suggest that one too
Hi Aron. Can you recommend any good battery powered speaker ??? Is Boss S1 good choice ? Or maybe there is something better on the market right now ???
@@AaronStrawn fair comment. I had a Mackie DL1608 when they first came out when I used to play in a band. That was a game changer at the time and first proper tablet mixer I believe. The rest is history 😂
Hi buddy. Cool vid, can you help me with qm16 for record and livestream karaoke . Not sure how to livestream. Think I have to use interface, which I have the revelator io24 I interface. What about connect all that to Mini atem video switcher? Using OBS ? THANK SO MUCH...
Nice purchase 👌- not sure what's going on with QSC. Seems like they're slowing moving away from speakers, amps and mixers and mostly focusing their business on the Q-SYS system.
No real support or updates these days, TM 8 was my go too mixer but since it’s started failing and QSC don’t want to know, I’m not too happy. QSC sort your selves out, totally disrespectful to customers who bought your tech.

Def agree. Love that there's 4 aux for remote speaker/videographers..
Just bought the touch mix 16 brand new from Sweetwater this week,first week of February 2023. First gig (band) next weekend.

You're a genius! See that's how much it should be
What I like about this review is the really SHORT list of cons!!
I still love this mixer. Have used it for every gig!
I complain about the same exact trends in the wedding industry here in CA. Great video here.
Thanks for watching!
Hi Aaron, I'm starting to see the QSC Touchmix 8 back in stock. So, now that you've had the Touchmix for over a month- is the $1,200 price tag worth it? Any regrets?
I really dig it. I like having a digital mixer with the ability to customize it. So far, so good
It's such a great tool. I've been using mine since 2018. Check out my case mod video on how I customized a ProX case to make it work with my workflow.
I’m def gonna check that out! So far I love it

I'm currently not using any of the presets for the music. I'm using the mixers eq for sound. Hope that helps!
Nice choice bro. I’ve bee using that for quite sometimes now.
I'm excited about using it more. Really impressed me. One thing I cut out of the video was that it did make my speakers sound better too
I’ve been so on the fence about this thought I want it I’m afraid it will be a bit complicated
The QSC UA-cam has a whole series on how to run this. I watched them all to feel comfortable. It def helped. I LOVE this mixer
Thanks for the video! You mentioned ceremonies. I mainly do outside ceremonies, and besides the occasional drop out due to operator error! I deal with wind! Do you think the QSC will help with that? Thanks again!
Best thing for wind is to get a windscreen on your lapel or handheld. These definitely help with that issue

It's 2024 now, and I just bought a perfect condition Touchmix 8 from Reverb for $840!!
That's a steal!
Have you checked out the Allen & Heath CQ12T?
Yes- want to get my hands on one!
Solid choice

Another UI16 fan here
Still relevant? See some go on sale occasionally and not that I’m unhappy with my mackie, just want something rack mountable and was suggested this.
I still use and love mine
Hi Aron. Can you recommend any good battery powered speaker ??? Is Boss S1 good choice ? Or maybe there is something better on the market right now ???
I’ve got the S1 Pro and it’s solid. But I’ve been taking the the JBL Eon Mk2 out and it’s been crushing
XR18 is the BOMB, use external router in any dig mixer.
I've heard good things about those
Can you use the app on Android?
@@SteveSingerFowkes I’m not sure
Why don’t you just get a behringer flow 8. Can run that of battery power bank and is tiny. Oh works on your phone and iPad too. It’s cool.
I bought that already lol. Reason I wasn’t a big fan was needing to pull the app up anytime I wanted to EQ
@@AaronStrawn fair comment.
I had a Mackie DL1608 when they first came out when I used to play in a band. That was a game changer at the time and first proper tablet mixer I believe. The rest is history 😂
@@ifonlyhowie that DL1608 mixer was amazing when it first came out.

I believe you gotta do that through USB. But honestly, I haven't attempted this, so I'm not sure. Sorry!
Do you still have the Flow (which I have) how does it compare?
Sent that back. Cool little mixer, but with this now and my Yamaha 6 channel for ceremonies, I didn't need it
Stupid peeps always think they are to loud… they naturally fix that holding the mic further away. People s*ck.
It's def one of the biggest challenges of the night for us. I added a supercardioid head to my Sennheiser, and THAT has been a game changer
@@AaronStrawnl
Why did you switch from the Bose???
I've had these J8s since last year. I take them with when I need a more diverse speaker.
does this one shock you?
😂
Nice purchase 👌- not sure what's going on with QSC. Seems like they're slowing moving away from speakers, amps and mixers and mostly focusing their business on the Q-SYS system.
I had seen that, but they actually hit up my video to say that wasn't true. IDK, it's like impossible to get any of their stuff
Did you not go to marquee?
Nope, I'm thinking about going to the one in AC
@@AaronStrawn ditto man! I'm too busy right now with event prep on upcoming weddings and clients from my day hustle! I may end up going to AC too!
Where can I get this from?
that is the challenge. You gotta hunt lol. I have seen a few on ebay/reverb. Hit up google and you may get lucky

That's a bummer
Check Sweetwater
They recently had some, but this mixer is still a white whale
Where in the blue fuck did you find one?
Oh, you answered this in the video. My bad, yo.
It was not easy lol
What an awful room set up. I would be yelling at the venue.
That's not a good start to the night lol. I just moved my speaker and it sounded great
What would you be yelling? "Please Blacklist my diva ass"?
@@chadnliz2k11 Actually, I would have talked to the hall and the bride and groom before hand and advised against such a shitty layout.
@@KarlKnutson0615 but you said yell and we all knew that was flexing bs.
@@chadnliz2k11 I’m saying that’s a shitty room lay out and I would have had it changed. Diva or not. I get paid a lot to make it a great event.
