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" 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.
