Model 12 : Excellent Recording Equipment

I use this equipment for recording onboard only so I cannot comment on other features such as DAW and live mixing. However, for recording I like the simplicity and the hands on interface. Everything is top quality and very straightforward. I only had to look up a few things in the manual. But as everything, nothing is perfect, so here are a few things I would like improved:

1) The way headphones works for this system is a bit weird, for example, you cannot really use headphones and speakers at the same time.

2) The phantom power is global rather than for individual for each track, so all your recording mics must either support phantom power or not.

3) I find the tempo click works a bit weird.

4) Editing tools is very limited and could be improved a lot.

5) Such a shame volume, pan, Eq etc. each channel isn't saved with the tracls. I know it would be impossible as this mixer use physical knobs and sliders but annoying when you have a many songs recorded.

6) The effect channel is global, so only one effect is available for entire song, would be nice if different effects could be added.

If you can live with the above limitations then this equipment will serve you well. One thing I love is that you can quickly get stuff recorded and if you want it edited you always have the option to transfer it to a computer or simply set it up as a DAW.
