UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, drivers are installed, you plug the firewire and go.
(Incidentally, the USB key provided with not working, drivers are available for the site, but for those who want to use the example and exercises it should be possible to ask Midas to recover otherwise)

Manuel pro but clear.

Analog console so it's easy to use. The EQ knobs are still a little tight.

The possibility of inserting plug-ins allows a good mix of analog and digital.

SOUNDS

The highlight is the sound, it sounds great, transparent preamp and converters level.

The EQ is very effective, I use the EQ plug-in for cleaner catch and EQ console for coloring => complementarity top!

The stereo channels allow you to add a little EQ that goes on a mix.

Found not breathing.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for six months after testing other analog and digital consoles.

The big highlight for me is the EQ, the summons, the firewire interface and of course the price / quality ratio.
I can use this console to both the studio but also to the live recording.

With the same budget I would do exactly the same choice, or perhaps opt for the F32 version for large mixes, but by combining digital buses and 24 channels can already mix a lot.
With a higher budget I would opt for a digital Midas especially handy to have total recall anyway, but considering the price it takes to have a digital console for good, it is not immediately .
