UTILIZATION

Conf simple if one has the habit of digital, and if we had the habit of Yamahas, it is found very easy (more logical)
One has the impression that Pro-Tools version Live
The Handbook has answered all my questions
To the top via remote Ipad or Mac (PC too), because it has access to all the parameters of the other remote console unlike other consoles
If we take the time we just do what we want.
Dube with already, just a good prepa

SOUNDS

Very good preamps, bank really all that he swallowed. It is the preamp that is found in all studios equipped with pro-tools (most of the last album décénie ...
It sounds, just make sure you go in on the other hand if it sounds soft
Very good dynamic, Fx, must seek the right plug, because not all properties.

OVERALL OPINION

4 years of intensive use ...
Uses digital standarts: the yamh. 01v of the PM1D, soundcraft vi / if DiGiCo series of ...
The least? ... Not enough plug supplied as standard
The more, the SOUND ...
Soft for preparative work, remote Ipad, Rec 18 tracks (it sounds), the preamp, eq comp gates very effective
Flex Channel, handy!

Model purchased SC48 REMOTE: "New" version of the SC48 with preamps deported (32IN/16OUT on stage + 16 IN the console), ethernet, card inserts (4 AES, 8 analog).
Provided with Protools 10 to 32 IN / OUT simultaneously.
Pack of standard plug-ins (EQ, Comp, Reverb)

UTILIZATION

We use this console in an auditorium: current music, theater, creative ... Its use is simple, grip functions "basic" EQ, dynamics, bus effects is very simple, and well suited to the reception, both in face returns. The identification of the function of the buttons through a common code color on the screen and the surface is more.
Side config is a little more difficult. Indeed, it takes a bit of practice and reflection for the preparation of the machine. One of the pitfalls is the creation of stereo pairs, causing a break in the audio at the time of activation, therefore impossible to create a "to hard" for a show ... But besides this kind of glitches, it is easy and simple for those who do not necessarily need to use all the resources of the machine.
Note the "Flex-channel" and "Vac-Spill" ... Although designed to compensate for the low number of cursors.

SOUNDS

Side preamps, nothing to say, or we could reproach him for his neutrality. It is clearly not in the "typing" Midas or soundcraft ... In our case, this is significant. The correcting entries are efficient and know how to stay transparent. chain dynamics (comp & gate) is very convenient, and at worst can be replaced by the plug-in (internal) or device "old-school" ...

OVERALL OPINION

For a price less than € 30K, this product is ideal for a structure for performing arts. Without hesitation, we'd definitely choice.
With the arrival of version 3 software and Protools 10 (included), we pass to 32 channels possible inputs and outputs to your computer. It's comfortable and it works wonderfully. We save many Lives, and the result is worthy of much more expensive solutions.
And to justify the rating, it is still unfortunate not to have a solution of remote control via tablet, for example return management remotely ... It seems that it is in the pipes. The current solution based on VNC, is frankly not very practical with a tablet, but still has the merit to exist! Little regret as the inability to use the surface to control the protools!

OVERALL OPINION

Use for 1 year in benefits
No worries
We had the M7CL before, no comparison
Compare this with no problems or DIGICO INNOVASON Eclipse
A remake if I had to choose one console now
Mild to implement, effective
It sounds great without having to externally Clocker (not aimed at anyone I)
super preamp (the same as the D-Show), no need XL 42, and at worst an Avalon 737 can improve next appropriate quality of a micro

UTILIZATION

IF YOU ARE AN ENGINEER WITH A LITTLE ON THE CONSOLES eperience ARRIVES ON DIGITAL APEU TIME TO MAKE THE SOUND ... IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK IN THE FINESSE OF THE BEAST ... IT MUST BE BETTER BANG THE MANUAL IN ENGLISH HEAD SAT ..

OVERALL OPINION

1 MONTH

I know the Yamaha

I would do THAT CHOICE WEIGHT DIMENSIONS MAY NOT HESITATE TO QUALITY OF SOUND IS REALLY SERIOUS

WHAT I FOUND DAMAGE (FOR THE MOMENT ... THE WAITING UPDATE) .. Tinkering

. RUNNERS ON TO 25 BUT ONLY 17 ARE USED FOR STARTERS THERE IS SYMPATHETIC TO HAVE RECOVERED THE 8 OTHER OPTIONS ON INPUTS

Equalizers are not assigned GRAPHICS IN THE ENTRIES THAT DAMAGE IS FOR THOSE WHO ARE THE HEAD AND CLAMP HF who like CA. (OR SO I'M NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO ...)

PROTOOLS 18 tracks ... A LITTLE FRUSTRATING .. I like a FREE UPDATE FOR AT LEAST 24 ...

I DID NOT USE ENOUGH TO SEE ALL THE TRICKS TO UNFORTUNATE .... MY OPINION ...

BUT EVERYONE WANTS TO HAVE DONE ITS CUSTOM CONSOLE ...... SUPER SOUND, weighing 5 kg

ETC ETC ... NOT EXPENSIVE

NO IT'S VERY WELL ... ONCE A TOOL THAT IT REMAINS TO BE PAID TO THE PRESTA GOOD PRICE ... SOUND OF GROUP THAT PLAY WELL AND TRY TO OPEN THE EARS TO THE BEST SOUND POSSIBLE

IN FACT IT SHOULD UPDATER EVERYTHING ELSE .... NOTE 10
