    Well I give my opinion only because frankly the lack of objectivity of people annoys me.

    I will not notice anything is too long sorry!

    UTILIZATION

    It's super simple and intuitive who had on February 1 st and with a current 96i 01v. I can tell you that the converter are great on the Mackie and that cake to use.

    Not need the manual. It is so obvious that even added an adat in 2 click.

    SOUNDS

    The effects are not bad and if you like there is not enough to add to external effects.

    The converters are not bad, already better than the 02 r v2. The dynamics are good.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I used it for 1 year and a half.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I used it for 1 year and a half.

    + I liked its ease of use, sound really bad, the overall management of the number of the software.

    - The size of the lives not just in small place. The software a bit slow.

    We can have cheap frankly if it is for the rehearsal or studio is cool secondhand. For the live a little less.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this console for 3 years.
    I tried other console numrique before buying the Mackie D8B, Yamaha (the cold and impractical to use), other brands such as SONY RMX100 yet (bugs) one step too small .
    My change of activity forces me to sell the D8B, it will miss a lot.
    It's a great console efficient, reliable, Mackie are all the same manufacturing pro console.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I wanted to go to numrique to facilitate recordings via my PC. Before I used a Mackie 24/8/2 and I've always given me that but happiness.
    But I do not regret the D8B (bought 3 months there in 2550) is excellent and is much easier to use than I imagined. It sounds good, it is convenient, compact and effects are nickels. Excellent choice!

    No comments about the well-known features.

    UTILIZATION

    Extremely easy to use: my user's manual is rotting somewhere.

    Pros:

    Scene editing

    Display

    Effects

    Cons:

    Perhaps the preamps

    SOUNDS

    This mixing desk sounds good.

    I bought it secondhand and I had heard some negative comments before buying it, but its sound surprised me. I find it punchy and very versatile.

    The mixer is reliable and sturdy considering its price (please spare me the comparisons with an SSL or a Neve, which are totally different products).

    I use it with a HDR24/96 and it's a breeze!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using it for several months in my home studio. I also have two Yamaha 02-R to compare it to.

    The mixer seems to be less sturdy than the Yamahas. The sound is very different but pleasant.

    I don't use the converters because my Motu converters sound better. I use this mixer only to mix.

    I manage all recordings with my PC and a control surface.

    The value for money is unbeatable and if the mixer ever gets broken I'll run to the shop to buy a second one.

    A small turnoff is that the OS upgrades are not free, which I find unacceptable. Mackie has an awful sales policy regarding this.

    This mixer is incredible.

    Price paid: $8,999.00 (now much less)

    Sound is improved with additional Plug -ins and Apogee Word Clock card purchased seperately.

    Its very easy to use and the manual is clear yet in depth.

    You must be gentle with this board.

    I love this board!
