Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Definitely! Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? Got all the features you need to get recording immediately! I'd only wish it had a SPDIF in and out, especially for clocking purposes. Ease of Use How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be? Simple enough to use, take a good look at the manual and play with the board to figure out what you need out of it. Sound How is its Tone? Warm, fat, punchy! Reliability How has it stood up over time? So far so good, Overall Your general opinion of this product. Sounds incredible! If you've been mixing in the box like me just using mic pres straight into the computer via interface, this is the sound your missing! I've been frustrated with the sounds I've been getting for years. This is the cure! The drivers are not fussy. The mixes are very punchy and warm, its an 100% analog board and makes a big big difference to your mixes. If you put your plugins on your tracks you can stem them back up through the board again for a summing mixer type effect. It kinda smooths out the edgy-ness. Best purchase hands down!

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Although this series is made in China, it is not typical Chinese manufacturing. Very heavy and solid feel. Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? It combines an analog mixer, midi DAW controller, and firewire and ADAT interface into one unit. The only things I would add are word clock and 100mm faders, and probably a scrub wheel. Ease of Use How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be? Easy as using any other analog desk. Takes a little time to learn all of the switching and routing possibilities. Manual is very helpful and easy reading. Sound How is its Tone? Nice warm analog sound; fattens up my Logic tracks quite a bit. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Have had for about a year. No issues at all. Overall Your general opinion of this product. Would definitely buy again. Absolutely worth the money.
