UTILIZATION

Everything is at hand for quick and convenient use.

SOUNDS



Sound: For my part, I find it magical!
My consoles have aged well. It's really strong and even more than today's hardware (quality of components).

<em>Preamp: good headroom and no breath to trim (never needed to push through).
Transparency: Yes or no! "I pass by them for the sound (line or mic) and also used for
returns my tracks separated from my PC via my MOTU interface on the console. "
So! yes transparency in the sense that what goes in the same ring after registration.
And no! In the sense that, once the hot console and if you go further in the preamp (lower
earnings of sources used in the preamp and enhance the volume to trim the console) you win
presence in the sound without distorting the sound, more heat (your choice).

Eq: It's been fun.
I take pleasure in my power to ring sounds (drums "how denting its signal to grow," and
notcher how aggressive the treble of your condenser microphones to soften the voice.

OVERALL OPINION



I have been using a half years for making sounds and mixing.

I mix hip-hop, reggae, electro, and rock and I have nothing to redire.J 're doing what I want to.
Now I have mastered all of my equipment and I obtain what I really want.

I buy the 320 B in a good condition about 850 euros "revised" and I did not hesitate.

I own 3 of the Series M-300.

An M-312, an M-320 and M-320 B.

The M-312 for sources to be recorded and the M-320 B mixes for returns.

The other 320 formerly used for my association that I will revise and sell soon because (dissolution associative).

For photos see my profile MUSICISMYLIFE and the combo of the 312 and 320 B.

The least: If only there was a 32-way!

The 320 is the largest model in the series: Yes I would do this choice.
