UTILIZATION

Easy to use except usb
To understand the look of bodytwist excellent post on the forum of the u16 venice

At first glance, the appearance seemed a little playmobil, I must say that the Soundcraft Delta 200 it replaces was rather kind of tank ...
I hate to share my buttons eq really tight practice at all, and the on / off button at the back.
Switches and the big knob for the gain of preamp are great for cons.
Manufacturing level, it still feels so well made in china ... To use my studio, this is largely correct, but I do not see on the road, balanced in bunkers bus, a little abused after several days without sleep ... Hum hum ....
I take it with a grain of salt ...

SOUNDS

Then there is the beautiful appearance forgive toy and you soon realize that there is no economy on the main ...
The preamps are great, I use the UA-610, an Empirical Labs Mike-e, a Neve 8801 and Ssl alpha VHD. And quite frankly, if they remain below inevitably, they do not have to be ashamed ...
I will test deeper soon but this is the great surprise of this console.
Finally, the first since the second pleasant surprise is the eq. Even if I would call that more surgical music (compared to the Neve 8801), they are highly effective, it must be set with finesse ... Oh, if you could spend more fingers between the buttons, that would be great!
The system usb sound card is great.
Possessing a Digi003 for protools, I used the midas to go to a standalone reverb plug, and thus operate as if I had a rack of extra reverb.
I enjoy working with old.
The summation in this table is superb, we throw away the summation in protools ...
For my part I tjrs old spring to patch the 16 outputs of protools and I go back to analog in the table.
Frankly there are more than worth the money

OVERALL OPINION

I've had almost a week, and I do not regret this purchase for my studio use.
The midas sound is there and there.
If I had to have a concern, it would be the robustness as I find a little cheap manufacturing level.
But for the price there is nothing wrong. Far from it ...
Content that no compromise has been made on sound quality
