I've just thrown my hands in the air like I just don't care

My, that's a lot of knobs for your money.

I haven't recorded any music in years, but the price of this alone makes me want to go back to it!

"Better results" !? What about people who have acoustic drum kits, no midi triggers, and no "superior drummer". Just because you can do something doesn't mean most people do. At almost all of the gigs I play at, or attend, people still use real drum kits.

It's not as I explained earlier, you can midi trigger superior drummer anyway. Which will give better results.

Someone who wants to record a drum kit, or someone who wants their kit to go through a pa system.

Daft question

sorry, don't get the reference?

I understood your point :P

Vinyl sales are higher than CDs and the last year has seen global vinyl supplies be outstripped by demand due to it having become a cottage industry leading to a startup in professional industrial production. So Yeh it has risen beyond that of just the DJ market.

My point is it'll take you a long time to get the same result Superior Drummer does plus you'll never have the control over the individual sounds like you do in Superior Drummer to anywhere near that ease. Additionally they were sampled by true experts with years of experience. The cost alone is worth it over the time you'll spend trying to get anywhere near it.

Lovely mixer for performing bands and smaller music venues, loads of inputs and Soundcraft make some cracking kit. Not for recording!

I'm fairly sure having this in your house would get you laid, but any basic tuts on how to use it? I mean, are all the inputs from a recording booth and you are playing with them??

Ridiculous pretend 'saving' I studied at SAE London in 1990, used desks better than this one even back then. This would be ok for a semi pro studio, although who really runs a semi pro studio any way? There's no money in music as it is.

Are you really going to utilise that many inputs? Who even mikes up a drumkit anymore? I could setup Superior Drummer 2.0 in Cockos Reaper and completely annihilate your miked up drum sound. I could also also use a Kemper to annihilate your D.I.d guitar sound or even a decent VST for home recording this is overkill or underkill whichever way you want to look at it. To mix it I could use even a Behringer unit with flying faders and swap fader banks.

20 years ago this would be a home recording wet dream now it's a bit of a joke. Looks good though. Mixing desks might have hundreds of knobs, but they're incredibly easy to use. Using EQ and Mastering is a real skill though.

The golden rule is record it properly in the first place as you can't polish a t*rd afterwards.

Anyway I think the deal here is if you can use one of these and need one and plenty of people do even after what I've said, then it's an OK deal, still laughing at the savings though.

Thought it was a stick of RAM

Takes me back to the good 'ole days of making music using a 12 channel analog mixer, lots of synths and a Rackmount of kit (Akai S2000, Korg M3R, Alesis effects etc..) and a lot of midi leads - now all you need is a laptop and Ableton Live or Reason.. I agree though music is waaay over compressed nowadays it's tiring to listen to... Anyone can make electronic music, very few can make good electronic music.. There was more creativity when less to work with..

The DJ'ing I believe is what's still keeping the Vinyl Market alive!, otherwise ... (since 'Digital EVERYTHING' took from most Sector Markets more than 1.5 Decades ago ... )

But yeh, a 'RETRO Revolution' is now fast approaching us allllll still?, lol. :-)

Thanks ordered 10

The thing is analog desks are not really the same as vinyl. There the same as digital apart from faders mover on there own, they have built in effects and store band settings. Making life a LOT easier for anyone working in the trade.

Great price for this board, but who wants a large analogue desk these days?

all that just to make another crappy overcompressed pop song.

The problem is most people want digital these days. They can no longer sell analog desks like this for anywhere near 4k

... and it deserves a Knobel prize.

This discussion is full of knobs

Yee Gods, knob count overload.

HEAT!

Quality kit, amazing price for specification and connection options ;-)
