The Korena take

DLZ Creator XS is a compact digital mixer for podcasting, streaming and other creator-led productions. Its 7-inch touchscreen changes with Easy, Enhanced and Pro modes, letting the control layout match the operator’s preferred depth of access. Mix Agent and AutoMix help manage a multi-mic conversation, and two headphone outputs can carry individualized headphone mixes. Six pads put stored sounds, voice effects and controls such as fade, duck and censor within reach. Record multitrack sessions to a computer, NDI or SD card.
