Equipment File #16: Boss mixing board

Boss BX-8

Equipment File 16

It was in May of 1990 when the Studio received its first mixing board. It was an old, dirty board that was going to be thrown away where Jason worked. So he took it home and used it in the multi-track experiments with his home stereo (early Mune Mud).

In late 1991, after he bought the 4-track recorder and upgraded his keyboard to the Casio keyboard, it was time to upgrade the mixer. This little 8-channel Boss mixer was made to be used with keyboards but he has run all his instruments and equipment through it over the years.

And now in Metal XOR-E, it is currently being used as the funnel for his computer input. All instruments and equipment run to this board and the board goes into the computer. It is simple and efficient and will be the way the Studio is set up for quite some time.
