UTILIZATION

I had another digital ROLAND table with sub menus etc ... and then there were 328 spirit or how to approach mixing in an intuitive way, only regrets FX on each channel (compressor, gate ...) only present on the 328XD and practical goods for the live and the lack of pan mix when small final balancing. RAS if it's all good.

The manual could not be more clear as to use.

I love the versatility of this table (automation, controls noon under cubase 7, slice equalizer accessed simply by pressing the channel button ...), which again, was designed for maximum responsiveness available.

SOUNDS

For a table that has more than ten years, the converters are always good, used in live sound is very clean on the way as the instruments electric guitars, bass and drums.

Soundcraft thank you.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years in a home studio and sometimes live.

Plus, intuitive, sound quality, completeness.

Least by lack FX (available on XD) panoramic mix output.

UTILIZATION

I have the manual in French and it is quite clear and well illustrated. The highlight of the console is that it is intuitive trs, no menus, submenus, sub-menus! Just select a path and is available for IMMEDIATE rglages all on hand (eq, to ​​...) the only edition of the effects of demand to consider the (very) small notch.

SOUNDS

Nothing wrong, it's nickel!

OVERALL OPINION

I have this console for 3 months, I wanted to take the tascam dpart and then I came across this opportunity and I jumped on it. With the arrival of the new console 24/96 (328XD, 02R96 ...) the old consoles earlier outside a home studio budget become available, of course they do not have the latest fashion converters but ... must make a choice! I got 19 000f (MODL expo) and it was worth a 45 000f new so worth it! In addition it has all the original connections numriques not need dpenser of Thun in the options often salted addition.
