Check out this review:
No joke, when I was looking for Professional Mixer the other day, I was having one heck of a time finding it online. When I did finally find it, I made sure I bought it quickly. What follows is my review.
I was impressed with Professional Mixer plain and simple. When I placed my order, I had in in my hands within 3 days and that’s no joke. The key is looking for a seller with over a 100 feedback rating on Ebay. I’ve even included an Ebay listing to Professional Mixer in this review to make it even easier on you.

It’s happened to me before too…more than once.Often times it is the result of “multiple mixers” on your system. It might be that your main speaker tab has the sounds turned down all the way…or muted. Or, maybe one of the mixer levers that controls it all is also turned down all the way. (On the volume control tab, there is main volume, wave volume, CD player, line in and so forth.)It could also be that your PC has a seperate sound card that needs a special driver to make it work.
MAC: LogicPC: Cubase, Sonar, Pro Tools, Ableton, Reasondo you realize that if you want professional quality audio you need professional quality Hardware too?Absolute minimum would be a kick a** PC, audio interface, monitors, a good condensor mic and mic preamphttp://www.studio-central.com/will help you out
Adobe Soundbooth has very good quality and tons of very capable mastering racks. I don’t know if a digital mixer is what you’re looking for, since Soundbooth has no multitrack capability.Adobe Audition does. It’s what I use for my multitrack projects. If you’d like, you could use both of these products together. You can record individual tracks with Audition and sync them with Soundbooth.You should also look up Audacity. It’s a freeware multitrack recording program. Very good quality.
The Pro Plus will do the job with the attachments but I give it a thumbs down for the grinding attch. the motor labors at 325 watts, I traded up to the 600 model, there’s nothing like having the juice when you need it. Pro Plus IS a great machine, don’t get me wrong, but then again I use a sledge hammer to put in a tack
That is definetely the right choice my wife got it about two weeks ago and she has been thrilled with it
The best way a band can do it without having a sound engineer presentwhile they’re playing is the use of pedals. Check out the demos for theVoice Live 2.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xC1-UJeSYYhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGLOrKm-GYk
Cuisinart stand mixers are amazing. But for the things you want to do with it, it might not be the best purchase. They do last forever and as far as mixing and kneading goes, its wonderful. The meat grinder is not very powerful and is pretty slow. I can’t imagine why you would get a stand mixer to grate carrots though. Unless you’re going to try and grate carrots for a restaurant, a hand grater or box grater should be sufficient. However at under $200, you will have a hard time finding a Cuisinart, but if you look around it might be doable. I have seen them for as little as $230.
my husband used to work for a company that reconditioned kitchenaides. yes u can buy them and they are just as good.
I am not a professional, but I like to pretend that I am. I use a KitchenAid Professional Series stand mixer, that I love, and a Sunbeam hand mixer.The Sunbeam hand mixer is available as a hand/stand mixer for about $93 free shipping (Amazon.com) It’s a great little mixer at 275 watts and I would like the convenience of using it either way if I didn’t have the big one. Sunbeam also makes a 450 watt stand mixer $106 plus shipping (Target.com). I haven’t used this model, but the extra power from the motor would be nice if you can find a few extra dollars over your stated limit of $100. I’ve linked a quick search result with pricing from various online retailers that has both models. I also linked JCPenny for the stand mixer (129.99 online). You can probably catch it on sale at a JCP store, and they have a good coupon in almost every Sunday sale paper for $15-30 off larger purchases.Sunbeam is not a “new, fancy” name in appliances, but they have been around for a long time and make an excellent product. I am extremely pleased with the mixer I have from them, and I tossed 2 others (cuisinart and hamilton beach) before I got this one. Neither of those could even whip egg whites to a good peak.Good Luck with the model you decide on….it’s fun to use a stand mixer!!!
I’m also a professional cake maker. I use a 6 quart Professional Series Kitchen Aid mixer. It is just big enough to mix one 2″ layer square 16″ cake, which is the largest I generally make. It’s never failed me, and I’ve been using it for wedding cakes for almost 6 years. It’s not too expensive, and most department stores carry it.
I understand your dilemma because I went through the very same just last year. I ended up getting the Artsian model and not the most expensive one. I worried and worried about having enough power, getting the most out of it versus the dollar issues. I am happy I saved the hundred bucks. I would rather put it into buying an attachment, down the line if I want or find that I want to. (of course there are Christmas and birthday lists to provide to loved ones and friends aren’t there!)I have found the one I have to be more than adequate and I am a ‘foodie’ who loves to bake and cook. If money is no issue, I’d probably have gotten the most expensive one, but I’m still not convinced that I would have. The only thing I don’t like about it, is the fact that the bowl is so narrow on the bottom, it doesn’t always mix everything as well I think it should. Oh well. I knew I would want a locking head and everything that the artisan model has. I think you would do fine with the artsian unless you start a home bakery or something like that! Good luck. (They are heavy, though, so plan on planting it somewhere easy to get to and use)
that happened to me about a month ago. i forgot how i fixed it tho. i would say maybe go to youtube or something and try to play something and see if once chrome starts playing something with sound if it shows up in the volume mixer. if not that then i would say restart. i remember when that happened i just turned off all of my sound drivers and then turned them back on. then i think it was good as new. don’t really remember. but hope i helped
We bought the Heavy Duty 5 qt stand mixer, and got the extended warranty. We’ve had a Kitchen Aid mixer for over 10 years but twice we had a problem with the gears grinding (our fault, we should have had a 6 qt the way my son likes to make pizza!). Because we got the warranty, Kitchen Aid sent us a NEW mixer both times. This last time, they upgraded us to a 6 qt Professional because it was the only one they could find in the Cobalt Blue that I wanted. I would recommend either the 5 or 6 qt Professional if you are going to make pizza or bread on a regular basis; and don’t forget that warranty! It is one of the best purchases we ever made. We also got the meat grinder attachment which has come in handy on several occasions. The mixer is one of the best purchases we have ever made.
Stick with Kitchen Aid it is much stronger – lasts longer and has a better variety of expansion tools. I have had both and sold my Sunbeam at a yard sale I was so disappointed in it.
Connecting a mixer to the output of any amplifier that can drive speaker is going to fry the mixer. The mixer is designed to control preamplifier levels. Your connection sequence would be microphone, or line output from an audio source, such as a CD player, to the preamp, which a mixer usually has, and then out to the main amplifier. DO NOT try to use a mixer to control tone levels, or volume level for signals coming from an amplifier, and going to the speakers. Not only is that very late in the process, but it is as stated, an excellent way to fry the mixer. You need to remember, there is a bunch of transistors of some kind connected to those speaker terminals. They are controlling the flow of a few volts and several amps of electrical power. Even if you did not fry the mixer, your sound level would drop to a bare whisper. The mixer, as stated, is for microphone, or line level signals. It’s output is NOT designed to deliver power to a speaker. If you did this, and the mixer survived, then you would need another amplifier to get back the desired power to drive the speakers. Use studio type equipment to get the control of signal quality that you want. That is the best way to go. The chances of finding what you want in consumer electronics is very small.
The built in sound card in your computer is probably the problem. They are usually pretty bad when it comes to recording. They just do not have good quality preamps. That is why pretty much everyone is using an external audio interface now.An external USB audio interface like the Presonus will help. What you do is connect the left/right tape outputs on your mixer to the Presonus inputs. Very easy connection and your sound will be crystal clear.
I have two Kitchen Aid mixers. One 4.5 quart and one 5 quart. I don’t think they even make the 4.5 one any more, it’s that old but it still works! Doesn’t have the power that my 5 quart does but it still gets the job done.I personally wouldn’t spend the extra for the Pro since you’re really a home baker. Now if you were starting a pastry shop, it would be a different story.And I wouldn’t worry about the Artisan and making bread either. I make bread on a regular basis and use my 5 qt to mix and knead enough dough for 2 large loaves at one time.Your basic differences are the Artisan offers a tilt head, the Pro’s head doesn’t tilt, the bowl moves up and down. The Pro’s bowl is 1 quart bigger and it does have a lot bigger motor because of that larger and deeper bowl. I’ve never had either one of my mixers give up the fight when mixing something. And I dabble in catering, bake like a fool at the holidays and all that. Spend the extra $100 on one of the accessory kits like the grinder/food mill one. I use the heck out of that one! I make my own tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes. I also make a lot of home made applesauce and the food mill makes it so much easier. It pushes the pulp and juice out one direction and the seeds and skins go the other. We make our own sausage when I can grab a sale on some pork because the family still likes my homemade better. I also have the slicing and shredding pack and that one I don’t use. My mother never had & used a food processor and insisted on getting that one for me. I have a Kitchenaid food processor that does all that work. I have used the slicing shredding pack for making pickles and such but I don’t do that real often.
