    OVERALL OPINION

    I had the opportunity to discover this console for an hour, so this advice is worth what it's worth.
    From first glance, it is fairly easy, with an area clear and well-organized. It was in front of you, where usually there are the meters, a full slice.
    It's pretty easy and intuitive. We can also assign different colors to the tracks, convenient to navigate quickly.
    In the least I can say that the touch screen is too small. Check boxes in the menus are very narrow. The buttons look very fragile. We are afraid that we are in the fingers. A button called "mix" mode allows pinball "faders" …

    In the least I can say that the touch screen is too small. Check boxes in the menus are very narrow. The buttons look very fragile. We are afraid that we are in the fingers. A button called "mix" mode allows pinball "faders" mode for shipments. Beware, it can be misleading, this term (usually "mix" means that the track assigned to LR mix, but not here). There is no master fader assigned. It can therefore be a block, but at the expense of what is in the sub-bottom layers (!!!). Completely useless.
    Finally, to summarize, a console that could be terrible, but suffers serious errors of youth. And the price is prohibitive.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I had the opportunity to find a festoche
    Rather used to and unconditional Yamahas and Digidesign, I was ready to discover this new tool
    In the end, I found it a bit soft (as Allen & Heath Souvant) average correction, just a little effect
    Finally, if there is that AC will be in store with but I think putting an Avalon or Manley behind AC arrange sauce
    I stand by my choice on a PM5D and M7CL, SC 48 (if any)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I had the opportunity to use this mixing desk one hour long.

    On first impression it's rather intuitive and clear, and it has a logical layout. You have a full channel strip in front of you where you usually have the bar graphs.

    It's quite intuitive and user-friendly. You can assign different colors to the tracks, which is very practical.

    Cons: the touch screen is too small. The check boxes in the menus are too small. The buttons seem too fragile. You might end up with one between your fingers. There's a button labeled "mix…

    It's quite intuitive and user-friendly. You can assign different colors to the tracks, which is very practical.

    Cons: the touch screen is too small. The check boxes in the menus are too small. The buttons seem too fragile. You might end up with one between your fingers. There's a button labeled "mix" that allows you to flip between fader and aux send modes. It's a bit surprising because usually this sort of button allows you to assign a track to the main mix. No fader is assigned to the master. So you can reserve a fader for the main mix but you can't use it for other layers anymore (!!!). Silly.

    As a summary, this mixing desk could have been great but it shows some flaws common to first-generation products. And it is extremely expensive.
