The VU meter needles are pleasant although a bit small, the VU meter LED it is useless if only indicate that we are in the red ... but it is adjustable.
The console is tough, everything is made in earnest, only the finest decals are barred at the slightest friction nail, damage ...
UTILIZATION
The setup is very simple, just connect your daw to console input, all the connections are on top, you just do not use jack coudé.Par example, in unit 1 I put the bass, Unit 2 voice, stereo 1 battery, stereo 2 guitars, keyboards, stereo 3, 4 stereo effects returns. The control by the huge knobs is childish and very pleasant.
The manual is clear and complete in English because I bought it across the Channel.
SOUNDS
The preamps are sweet, do not have a headroom of madness but amply sufficient for any static or dynamic microphones, a tape I think they are just too, depending on the source property does évidement.Ils not blow or even a background so very very légèrement.Pour a bass drum or a snare rather rock, I did not like, they are much too moux.Par cons on an acoustic guitar, bass (di), cello, trumpet, voice, saxophone in a jazz drum overhead, they have been very sweet and colorful, they are not linear at all, the lower midrange is very rich and coloré.Les equalizers are very distinctive and colorful, bottom is really too vague, semi parametric is incisive, the highs are pretty sweet.
There are 2 Sovtek 12AX7, one for preamps and one on the master output, j'esseyerai although several models including NOS to see the various possibilities of color and saturation, as it is why I bought it More ... When you approach the O db slight compression is then felt, but I struggle to imagine that they have this console called "fat track" for that, it starts to saturate after and that's it I like!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 7 months now, I had the opportunity to mix many things with and it was very clever in everything, every time she gives that little extra touch of warmth and air (when I seek not to overload the!) which made me much needed.
I find it the perfect companion for my cold daw, I also tried to mix with my Mackie 1604 VLZ pro, but it's also a cold daw.Avec this console, I have not solved the Mixing with the mouse in cubase, cons by the summation with the latter adds a little more true to the sound, this charming little trick (no overruns), a mix or a pre-master.J, I added 2 slices of consoles / DI / preamp / adder / monitoring system in my park, for a price quite honest in England, France I would not put the Euro 1300 called, it's a bit expensive, right? But if you wanted to buy all these separate parts, how much it would cost us t they? This machine is a wonderful Swiss Army knife and I could not do without.
