Exactly as described!!!

Very easy to convey with the Mac and the use with Logic. Basically plug and play. Good sound quality when recording.

I haven’t used it live yet but the test in the studio was satisfactory.

Absolutely great piece of gear!

Super efficient, massively capable, inbuilt effects are alright, can even record directly into an SD card. Very smart. Tough built. Feels good, and stable to use.

Het hele jammere is van dit mengpaneel dat er niet eens een Nederlandstalige handleiding van bestaat. Noch bij de aankoop, noch op het net. Anderzijds botst je dan op hetzelfde probleem als je de software wil downloaden.

I bought it for my band's rehearsal and it's very good. Multitracking is very useful - you can use it for small gigs and record them. Since we are using it we record every rehearsal we had. The quality is good but you have to be careful with the knobs - sometimes you can tilt them if you push them a little harder, but it's not a big problem. We didn't test Bluetooth yet but it's nice feature if you want to play something prerecorded on your show. Overall - I'm very satisfied with the quality and the price.
