I would like get 2 mixers yes but for the moment I need make some choice in my configuration
Btw it will be my first mixer for my studio so I hope it will be decent for recording in a first time and I will wait to buy a decent flight case to carry the unit.
When I bought my sp1200 I needed a mixer for my 8 outs. I was debating between a Midas and the SSL x desk. I used to go to a lot of live shows and the Midas console sounded great whether it was 16 or 32. I know what it sounded like but in the end I splurged for the SSL xdesk.
Itās seems OK with these drivers. BUT do not upgrade to SIERRA
(FOR NOW)
From MIDAS :
With that prefaced, I will reach out to our software team and see if and when Sierra will be supported for VeniceF consoles. This will likely take some time so we strongly recommend staying at El Capitan until further notice.
Letās keep in touch,
i have the midas (when it was midas) 16U for the last 2 years, sounds GREAT, i bought it for the MD , A4 and pedals for studio using .
i think the F version is more simple to use, recording wise.
i ended up using patchbay, audio interface and more 8 line adat in/out, because the mixer signal flow from the mixer to the computer is by using the aux knobs, which means you canāt record with FX sends, or sending audio tracks to the mixer is only to 8 tracks - But after all, itās sound great, i love to use it
about the mackie, a good friend of mine really enjoys the working with this mixer model and the results sounds very good. after all itās just different color.
If i will need to buy a new mixer, it will be digital (presets, templates, more routing options), if your time is expensive, think about a digital one.
Personally I am not interested in mixers that act as āway cool control surfaces,ā or have āonboard effects,ā or āUSB.ā
These are all abominations. The Mackie VLZ series is the closest an electronic musician can get on a budget to a pure mixer, Pure, simple, no dipshit digital FX added in. Like the fucking 90s.
Thereās 3 aux thatās Return they havenāt got (so return take Tracks instead thatās a problem for some people who prefer to get dedicated returnsā¦)
