Review: It's an affordable USB audio interface with a free mixer attached! - Buying a USB audio interface is a bit of a nightmare process for me - I look at signal to noise, dynamic range, and inputs and go crazy wishing Firewire still existed, or Thunderbolt 1/2 hadn't changed format to USB-C meaning those dedicated, high-speed interfaces had remained worth developing for. Eventually, I end up choosing something I'm not happy with, and the process starts again. So this time, I saw the Notepad 12FX's 4-in, 4-out and just went for it. At £119 it's not much more than average 2x2 interfaces or cheaper 4x4 ones anyway, and I don't record over 48KHz so for all the extra dynamic range those high-end interfaces can capture, I'm wasting money anyway. Usually I'd have gone for an eight or ten-channel 1U rackmount to solve the issue of plugging in more kit, with the computer having to act as a mixer (no DAW or loopback mode, no jamming!) and so forth, for three to four times the cost. So the Notepad's actually a brilliant choice. You can hook up guitar, mic, synths - just play like any mixer. The effects are decent but limited. Time to record? Inputs 1&2 are hardwired to USB 1&2, pre-channel strip, post gain. USB inputs 3+4 can be routed to input audio from 3&4, 5&6 or 7&8, or the main mix. As with 1&2, recording 3&4 bypasses the channel strip and is dry, post-gain; the stereo inputs don't have any EQ to apply. These settings aren't persistent, so you need to set up each time to power the mixer on and off. Main mix means if you're monitoring through channels 9&10, you'll get double/phasing/loopback - but that's okay, 'cause you can route your DAW to USB outputs 3&4, assign those to the headphones and use those for monitoring with their own level control too. You need to record main mix from USB channels 3&4 to record the EQs and effects. It's not unduly noisy, the latency is acceptable, and it's 24-bit, 44.1KHz or 48KHz. No fancy ADAT or S/PDIF, just straightforward analogue hookup. It can auto-duck incoming channels for selected mic inputs if you're mixing and podcasting live, but I haven't tried or needed that feature. Build quality is good, and it's not particularly bulky - see pictures to compare to a Novation Circuit. Downsides, you need to use their app to swap input channels - why not just use a switch, Soundcraft! There's space! There's no phantom power switch, it's always on - so watch out for duff XLR cables. And there's no power switch, but I don't think the Mac takes too kindly to it being present/removed lots on USB anyway, so any switch would have to leave the USB part live. Power supply is a nice soap-on-a-rope with an easy cable loop. Honestly, on paper the specs sound limiting, but for the price, this is a way more versatile option than a typical 4x4 USB audio interface (which will set you back about the same price) with no downsides unless you're recording the very highest-end audio. For home studios, jamming and hobbyists it's brilliant. Get this if you love playing music and aren't trying to do serious studio production at home - you can hook up more instruments, record like a four-track, and the quality is better than most people's ears can detect anyway. Particularly once you've mixed and made your MP3s... Review: Put your fears at rest - First I scoured the negative reviews to decide whether or not to try this mixer. I found a few issues that had been highlighted. 1. The latency issues 2. The drivers on windows 10 3. Whether or not you can record 4 mics using as an interface. 1. Latency. This was important to me. I DI guitar and bass occasionally and latency drives me mental. Once I had the drivers installed the first reading was 22/30ms... Which isn't good. I went into the drivers control panel and put it on low latency and it now reads 5.2ms/5.2ms. This is much better! It does suffer a few little blips but nothing that isn't manageable and it can be reverted once tracking is done, awesome! 2. Drivers. This was a little trickier but I was aware of this prior to purchase. The drivers are not digitally signed so win10 hates them. You can temporarily disable digital signatures but upon reboot they won't work. If you go into advanced boot settings it is possible to change the boot option, disable safe boot mode, and permanently turn off digital signatures. I have since rebooted and everything is hunky dory. 3. Mic inputs as interface. The notepad 12fx definitely allows for 4 channels simultaneous recording. The other models do not. I have yet to truly test this but i/o configuration shows 4 inputs available. I purchased this mixer for home/portable studio recording mainly, which it seems perfect for. Its a massive upgrade from my line6 ux2 and seems to work great. It does need its own power which is something to consider but not really an issue. The size is fantastic and is easy to move around. I also wanted this as an analogue stand alone mixer for live use (solo work and maybe starting an open mic/jam night). Although I have not tested it yet with my active speakers I reckon it will work well. I thought I'd post this to help a few people struggling with the decision as I did, I am very pleased with this mixer for an incredible price! ## Features - Get legendary Sound craft quality from professional microphone preamps - Four Combo XLR-1/4" Mic/Line Input - Four 1/4" Line Inputs and Two RCA Inputs - 2-In/2-Out USB Audio Interface - Master XLR Outputs ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07CZ2BRQH | | Audio Input | Microphone (XLR), Line (1/4" TRS, RCA), Digital (USB) | | Best Sellers Rank | 23,218 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 46 in Live Mixers | | Brand | Soundcraft | | Brand Name | Soundcraft | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connectivity technology | USB | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 201 Reviews | | Item Type Name | Small-Format Analog Mixing Console with Usb I/O and Lexicon Effects | | Item Weight | 2 Kilograms | | Item weight | 2 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Soundcraft | | Manufacturer Part Number | Notepad-12FX | | Model Number | Notepad-12FX | | Noise Level | 30 Decibels | | Number of Channels | 12 | | Number of channels | 12 | | Output Connector Type | USB | | Output connector type | USB | | Power Source | Wired | | Power source | Wired | | UPC | 649661878926 688705003061 668705003063 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Voltage | 230 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Soundcraft - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Item weight:** 2 Kilograms - **Number of channels:** 12 - **Power source:** Wired ## Images ![Notepad-12FX Small-Format Analog Mixing Console with Usb I/O and Lexicon Effects - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91O0XfqRGFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's an affordable USB audio interface with a free mixer attached! *by T***S on 10 July 2020* Buying a USB audio interface is a bit of a nightmare process for me - I look at signal to noise, dynamic range, and inputs and go crazy wishing Firewire still existed, or Thunderbolt 1/2 hadn't changed format to USB-C meaning those dedicated, high-speed interfaces had remained worth developing for.

The quantity and variety of input and routing options has covered all my needs and it's solidly constructed. Built-in effects are handy and good quality (if a little limited compared with what you get in a pure purpose made effects unit). For the price it feels like you get a heck of a lot. Main snag has been that the first unit I received died after 6 months use. This seems to have been an internal fault in the unit itself, not a power supply failure. Amazon very swiftly replaced it with a new unit so I'm still happy but I'm flagging this up in case it happens to others (also it's the reason for dropping the rating from 5 to 4 stars). When I first got it there were some difficulties with using it in conjunction with Windows 10 (it was supposedly compatible but required workarounds for driver signing issues). However, as of mid-2020, updated firmware (v.2.04) seems to have addressed this. ## Frequently Bought Together - Soundcraft Notepad-12FX Small-Format Analog Mixing Console with Usb I/O and Lexicon Effects - No Bull Nordell Music Gear' Premium XLR Cable (Black, 2m): Achieve a Clearer Audio Signal with Balanced Male to Female Microphone Lead, plus Cable Tie --- ## 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.co.th/products/67215146-notepad-12fx-small-format-analog-mixing-console-with-usb-i](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/67215146-notepad-12fx-small-format-analog-mixing-console-with-usb-i) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
