UTILIZATION

Config trs simple ... same for me! : D (I&#39;m not a regular button multiple machines ...)
Everything is hand door, everything is really functional ... each track has a mute button (small subtle keys to the outputs switchable mute alt 3 / 4, which is quite unusual but convenient for plutt home studio) and a solo (which is not always the ... and if that is handy when you want to isolate a track without having to transfer all the others ... one by one ...)
The EQ is a quality product sold irrprochable for that price ...
On each of the mono channels, a 48V power button ... dtail small handy also when you are in my case: a condenser microphone lectret ncessitant a 48V power supply ... and a micro lamp possdant its own power supply ... (Very few products that offer "otpion" ... and that&#39;s a shame) ...
The manual ... English ... even not read ... yet I understand English ... : D o not but I see it is complicated ...
Ct use "touch" ... happiness is ...
First, we must emphasize the robust aspect of any machine Entire ... but del this, there is the comfort of knobs at both the tactile sensation at the level of dose below those Resistors trs just ...
The same applies to the faders, which let themselves "feel" with the fingertips but with a good dose Resistors trs also ...
All buttons are enjoyable to the touch (no old plastic) ... and activation of either produces no harmful noise ...
All the connections is also worthy of Mackie, nothing moves, nothing dvisse ...
It loses nothing in what way ... not like in some brands that I will not so much they made their renames the top ...

SOUNDS

The console is transparent?? yes ... sr is ... if it disables the EQ ... but it would be a shame not to use them as they are of good quality ...
No less audible breath to push the EQ and gain back ... but to a, must either be deaf ... be crazy ... : D
The EQ work?? What a question! ... Rponse: it touches the high-end ... for not so expensive ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few months ... I tested it in every way ... (Two hours in the store at the time of purchase ... and moulteuzeur since I arm in my little home studio ...)... guitars, microphones, synths ... mic + guitar ... percus ... noises with my three microphones ... (1 cardio, a lamp, a directional) ... I bluff by the quality of everything from all ... need I say more ... I record everything that captures, at the time of passage through the onyx, unbelievable warmth, the breath does not exist ... at least for normal people ... everything is clearly highlighted ... the pramps are of terrible quality ... the EQ also ... the principal what! ...
Do not forget the talkback function that can be useful in a trs quip home studio with a cabin ...
So if someone asks me what I like most ... everything!
The least ... euhhh ... The tape cardboard Arrach silent a little! : D
I tried a few before acqurir MODELS ... but nothing was worth the quality of this table ... this is Yamaha or Alsis ... or worse ... Beringher ...
On the day of purchase, I compared a MG124CX Yamaha ... 200 euros cheaper of course ... but it RE MODELS little between 300 and 500 euros ... THE FIRST seconds I realized that I would leave with onyx ... y&#39;avait no photo!
Parenthses between: those who, like me, the question arose: "what is the slices of compression on the quality of Yam are? Rponse ... I did not hear any diffrence that the button is 0 or background ... so, no, they are not of the quality they are just beautiful to ...
Otherwise, I hsit for VLZ3 but impossible to find in stores ... and a rumor there would be anything like a default production of THE FIRST SERIES ... and then, of yrflechir, paying 469 euros a table mid-range so that by adding 31 euros you can afford high-end ...
Anyway ... let&#39;s be frank, the heat of the Mackie face SOND mtallique the Yamaha was well worth the 200 euros ... and lack of in-store VLZ3 speak a little ... I do not need to do it again if I prciser this choice ...
Voil ...
Musically ...
