Console 1 Mk 2 : A Smart Tool For Mixing

Console 1 really helps with the mixing process and it basically does it in two ways.

First, you stop moving the mouse while looking at eq curves and plugins' GUIs; it means that you can use your ears and your hands to make changes and suddenly you realise that you're focusing on the most important thing: the sound.

Second, having a Gate, an Eq and a Comp (with a final Saturation stage) at your fingertips for every track, gives you all the tools you need to sculpt your mix. You don't feel the need of stuffing your insert slots with a half dozen of plugins. Sometimes less is really better.

A small Con: every now and then the USB cable seems to loose its connection and I have to re-connect it, but it probably happens one time a week and it's a matter of seconds.
