What affects your sound? Any component that your audio enters and exits.

In short, the answer is hell yes it makes a difference.

I guess you have a dm950 if you have that ..... that is like the worst mixer ever built

 

[barrebeast]

its not the 950..
but how is it the worst?

and can someone answer my question

do cheaper mixers have lower quality sound than more expensive mixers??? honestly

 

[Dado]

Yes they do. Cant explain why (maybe because they are cheap?) but i have my own experience... i have to record my scratches micing the speakers in the mixer because when i record directly from it its Crap! the fader is not functioning on some parts otherwise it does... i think you understand ... my English sucks

Cheaper mixers use inferior parts. The inferior parts don't reproduce the sound properly. They lack certain features that help preserve the audio signal. Some cheap mixers even introduce undesired noise to the original audio signal.
