If it holds up and I don't need to downsize, this is my rock. It doesn't get a 10 because they don't allow all faders to be used for DAW control, and there's no USB?FireWire option. other than that, what more could ou ask for?
Sound
This thing sounds amazing. Apogee converters, no-latency, no noise/distortion. You'd be hard-pressed to find better.
Features
This has every feature set you could ask for. Expandability, flexibility, automation, and upgradable. This mixer will work in ANY environment. more than 56 inputs, more than 48 outputs, and several digital options.
Ease of Use
Once learned, it's very convenient, but there is a LOT to learn. All controls and options are accessible through or without the monitor. It's the interactive mixer I've ever touched.
Quality
It is Top of The Line quality. After 12 years, no mechanical problems.
Value
It's a bargain for the feature set. I got it for a steal.
Manufacturer Support
Mackie needs to step their game up.
The Wow Factor
It is the asthetic focal point of my studio. A total hottie. I'd sleep with it.
