All user reviews for the Crest Audio X8

very super pro console Hpf on all channels, balanced insert, automated mutes with scenes and noon corrective 4 semi-parametric bands on all subgroups and masters; This console is a pretty all lit up toy, very well thought out, with decent preamps, equalizers correct (the XR20 consoles are a declination) good sound; a little less musical than DDA, Midas, with his slightly less open but very close anyway except for the equalizer which is good but not great ... it's all buried Mackie, Soundcraft Ghost, Spirit, the GI series with Allen Heath and Chinese toys from samson Behri ...
so if you want an analog console modern, MIDI-choose a model worthy of the name, a console that will complement your sound, and not the opposite!
