</div>To the extent that modeling actual analog mixers would be useless.<br>
<br>
The amplifiers in analog mixers do have non-flat spectrum (as all<br>
amplifiers have a limited gain-bandwidth product and phase-shift at<br>
high frequencies). However, the equipment is so designed as to have a<br>
nearly constant phase and gain over the range of audio frequencies.<br>
<br>
Plus, add noise. Both of which you could do intentionally, instead of<br>
having some software black box that does it without telling you :)<br>
