8816 Summing Mixer : Almost perfect!! Some defects but sounds phenomenal

6 years ago

So, I put up with a lot of crap from this old machine, but I still use it on all my mixes because it just does such a good job.

The PAN and Gain pots don’t zero out perfectly. No indent.

The software hardly works.

BUT..... holy carp Batman this this sounds so amazing!

I wish AMS Neve would simply update the software to help implement all the features I’m missing. That would be fine. Let me setup my own profile by entering the values I need, and then load it into the the console using the manual recall system. I’ve told them. I even offered to do the programming. They don’t seem interested, which is sad considering how great and timeless this product is and how friggin’ expensive. But, I still can’t finish a mix without it.
