During my time with it, the most descriptive quote I've heard from a band member surely must be "man -- that is all you need!" Anyone from aspiring self-mixing bands to smart, old school live sound dudes would be happy with this mixer, as it eliminates carrying around a lot of things you'd rather not: outboard comps and reverb hardware, for starters. Then add in its USB capabilities: DAW returns on channels 21/22 and subgroup 1/2 or main L/R recording features: good, straightforward stereo DAW I/O in a totally for-live, amazingly compact mixer. Its four channel "one knob" compressors work well and simply, and its simple array of 16 digital effects (reverbs, choruses and delays) are most likely enough for your gigging needs.

Today's Blog PAR Opinion: Decisions, Decisions: Four Pros Discuss DAWs (and more) By Rich Tozzoli, Software Editor for Pro Audio Review This month, following our annual American AES Convention, is a great time to figuratively “reboot.” There’s not a better or more inspiring time for reevaluating the gear we use daily in our unique jobs.

They are Paul Antonell, Grammy-nominated engineer, mixer and producer (Spyro Gyra, Natalie Merchant, Rusted Root, Beausoleil); Richard Chycki, multi-Grammy award-winning engineer, mixer and producer (Rush, Aerosmith, Dream Theater, Def Leppard); Peter Moshay, multi-Grammy award-winning engineer, mixer and producer (Hall & Oates, Live From Daryl's House, BB King, Ian Hunter); and Bob Powers, multi-Grammy award-winning engineer, mixer and producer (Citizen Cope, Erykah Badu, The Roots, D'Angelo).
