I bought this mixer after seeing a number of recommendations on social media and reading up on it. On paper and for the price it sounds too good to be true, but it absolutely delivers on every aspect. For just monitoring and live mixing audio, the signal path is clean, tons of headroom, the EQ sounds great, there's plenty of routing options and the Lexicon effects are actually decent. The audio interface side works wonderfully, drivers are simple and stable, capable of low latency monitoring and recording. I use this mixer in a home studio environment with a hardware synth rig. It's used for making a live mix for my synths if I'm writing/playing without using a DAW, as well as recording into my PC in Studio One 3 Pro. I've only used the audio returns on the board coming out from Studio One for monitoring while working with a guitar player so far, so I can't speak to how well mixing with the EQ and main buss summing works, but given how great this board has sounded so far, I don't expect I'll be disappointed in any way. Lastly, audio that I've recorded through this has been perfectly clean -- at least as good as the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2nd Gen that I had previous. It's only 24 bit/48khz, but 48k is good enough for my needs. The other thing to keep in mind is this is that all the channels send digital audio from the gain stage bypassing the EQ and sends. The way this is designed is to first capture tracks, then use the EQ and other parts of the board during the… read more mixing stage. Overall, this is one of the best investments I've made in ~15 years of buying recording gear.
