Alesis iMultiMix 8 USB Mobile Recording Mixer

Apple's iPod is more than a media player — it's also a hard drive: Alesis' new iMultiMix 8 uses it in both capacities. The portable mixer — which features eight channels with threeband EQ on each, built-in effects, an onboard limiter, and a range of connections — also sports a built-in dock and controls that let it operate the iPod as a recording and playback medium. Tracks can be mixed internally and transferred to iTunes for later distribution on CD or via the Internet. Check it out at www.alesis.com.
