Review: Very Good Sound - I only want USB output to my laptop. You have to download a dashboard app for it, update firmware drivers and God knows what else. There are NO instructions to help get USB connection to a laptop working. The few words they give you are meaningless. Virtually all other USB output mixers are simply plug and play, so this is a downside. However, I bought this because Soundcraft had been around for a long time, but clearly their focus is 100% on professional sound engineers. For those of us just wanting to record podcasts, sound engineering is not our focus (for most of us) and the only reason I bought this is because I wanted phantom power for a Rode NTG-2 microphone that I already had and simple output to my laptop via USB, meaning simply plugging in a cable! There is nothing on the device that identifies a button to turn on/off phantom power either. It's always on. So really you can only use a mic that needs phantom power by the looks of it The description of this product makes NO MENTION of the fact that you have to go through a process of downloading and installing an app (pffft!) and then giving no instructions on how to get the damn thing outputting via USB to your laptop. I have accounts with Zoom and Riverside FM. and I did get them to recognize the mixer though I did a test recording with the mic plugged into the channel 1 XLR slot. I had the VOLUME knob turned up to between 3 and 4 o'clock, the GAIN knob between 2 and 3 o'clock. A little bit of hiss in the background there when listening with headphones plugged into the mixer.... I opened Riverside fm studio on my laptop, then plugged headphones into my laptop. I did a 30 second test recording. In the riverside edit suite, the sound played back with no hiss and the sound quality was really good, so the combination of this mixer and my Rode NTG-2 mic is right on the button for me. I suspect you'd get results with any decent mic too. Haven't tried any of the effects yet, but really, this quality is so good I doubt if I'll ever need to use them for what I'm doing - recording podcasts. Actually, I gave 4 stars originally because of having to load the dashboard and drivers etc. But that was done in a couple of clicks (with my fingers crossed) but it all worked fine. So 5 stars from me. Great kit. Review: Brilliant small portable mixer - This is a great product. Easy to set up and use, can connect to Laptop for recording etc and can import music/ backing tracks from phone or other devices via RCA. I connect my guitar multi FX pedal into it using mono TS jack then out to studio monitors using XLR cables. Sounds wonderful. The mixer also has delay, chorus and reverb built in which works very well. Also you can connect a microphone. At this price point I personally don't think there is a better product on the market. ## Features - Get legendary Soundcraft quality from professional microphone preamps - Easily record, edit and playback from your Mac and PC with an integrated USB audio interface-simply plug-and-play with your Mac* - Sweeten your mix with HARMAN digital signal processing including iconic Lexicon reverb, echo and delay - Getting a great mix is easy with a familiar channel strip layout that includes EQ, aux send, master fader level and rotary headphone volume control - Durable metal enclosure that's built-to-last ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B075SL1VKL | | Audio Input | Auxiliary, USB, XLR | | Best Sellers Rank | 5,276 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 13 in Live Mixers | | Brand Name | Soundcraft | | Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary, USB | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (907) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00668705003056, 00668705003063 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 30.2D x 34W x 8.9H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Digital mixer | | Item Weight | 1000 Grams | | Manufacturer | Soundcraft | | Number of Channels | 12 | | Output Connector Type | Auxiliary | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Warranty | 24 months. | | UPC | 613816453603 613815596479 668705003063 607595980856 632317252164 613815596486 613816445349 668705003056 613816453573 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Soundcraft - **Connectivity technology:** Auxiliary, USB - **Item weight:** 1000 Grams - **Number of channels:** 12 - **Product dimensions:** 30.2D x 34W x 8.9H centimetres ## Images ![Notepad-12FX 12-channel Desktop Mixer w/USB I/O and Lexicon Effects - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MDXg2PH8L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does the 8fx include daw? If not, what free daw do you recommend to use?** A: To my knowledge, a DAW is not included with the SoundCraft NotePad mixers. My needs for digital recording and mixing are very simple. I use Audacity which has been around for decades, is free and open source, and provides an sufficient level of functionality for basic multi-track recording and editing. I'm not sure it would be accurate to label Audacity as a DAW, at least in comparison to high-end (and expensive) tools such as Pro Tools or Cubase. An internet search should provide some other no cost or freeware alternatives. **Q: What is the difference between the mic inputs and the two extra 1/4 inch inputs to the right on the 8?** A: Not sure which you are referring to. #7/8 are RCA inputs, not 1/4 inch. To the right of that are the master L and R outputs. The 1/4 inch inputs that are not mic (3/4, 5/6) are line inputs. Mic inputs are more sensitive than line inputs. Hopefully one of those things was the information you were after. **Q: Is the usb for computer interface only or can you use it for a usb mike input?** A: Yes, the USB port is only for interfacing with your computer. USB mics will not work with this mixer. If this was helpful, please consider purchasing from us (pixelproaudio on Amazon). We can help with support after the sale as well. We have it in stock and ready to ship. - Pixel Pro Audio **Q: can i control the effects, meaning that one channel has effects and the other channel not?** A: Yes, each channel has an fx control knob. But, each channel with effects gets the same effect, ie, you can't do reverb on 1 and delay on 2. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good Sound *by P***R on 14 January 2025* I only want USB output to my laptop.

Great sound and the EQ and FX are of good quality. Someone here said the effcts were bad but I can only suppose he couldn't find a sort of 'big' vocal reverb with a lot iof pre-delay and a bright halo - it doesn't have that. They ARE limited but if you put on a pair of headphones and plug in an acoustic guitar you can hear the quality (and in stereo). USB functions may come in useful at some time so it's good they are there and that software exists to make it more flexible. The only reasons I dropped a star: For live work I would really like to have been able to use the AUX out for monitoring AND use the FX on the main outs - but it's one or the other. That's my main gripe. There is still a dry signal at the Aux socket when you are using the FX out front but the send knob will affect the level of both. A couple more knobs could have sorted this and there is room for them. I thought it didn't work at first because there's no power LED No way of turning off the phantom powering But these are of minor importance. It's really great in a lot of ways and I don't want to knock it - I would have really liked separate control of the AUx and FX sends though. ## Frequently Bought Together - Soundcraft Notepad-12FX Small-format Analog Mixing Console with USB I/O and Lexicon Effects - Cable Matters 3.5mm 1/8 Inch TRS to 2 XLR Cable 6 ft, Male to Male Aux to Dual XLR Breakout Cable - Cable Matters 2-Pack Premium XLR to XLR Cables - 6ft, Male to Female Microphone Cable, Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Mic Cord, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/55149160-notepad-12fx-12-channel-desktop-mixer-w-usb-i-o](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/55149160-notepad-12fx-12-channel-desktop-mixer-w-usb-i-o) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
