Little Wonder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bought this desk after a big fail of a live recording on November 4 2015, for my Jam Band, "Cactus Jade Efrain" had a very sofisticated system whith wordclass preamps, Aurora, telefunken V76m, Capi 28's, focusrite original ISA 215, Electrodyne 711L, etc, in the end it failed cause of bad monitoring mixes, can't jam if you can't hear the other mucisians, so i decided to buy the touchmix 16 to have a simple solution that could handle the house mix, 4 different monitor mixes, and the recording of all inputs,
Being a Professional sound engineer with 35 years on the job, I thought this would be a practical solution, with the obvious downgrade in sound, but none of that, this puppy sounds right up there with the big boys,
I have never seen the manual, don't need it, it's so friendly, and if I get an idea to do any EQ or add Effects to a sound it always instantly delivers what I'm after, whith grace quality and charm, the recording feauture allows me to be a mucisian, and forget about de recording system, all my Keyboards, Drum machines, and XOX roland clones are always patched in the machine, so everything is always connected, wana record??? press rec and you are cooking,
For me it was my new love, I was singing it's Praises all day long
Too good to be true?
Last November 26, we repeated the concert in the garden, when I plugged the desk it wouln't turn on, Big Fail again, we replaced the desk witha Crest XR 20 feeding a RME UFX, but I lost all of my Eqs and Fxs that were on the QSC, and it wasn´t the same........
For me it's like an Egyptian Curse, each time I want to switch from being a sound engineer to a musician, the tech fails.......If I'm engineering everythig works fine.
I will have to pay the hefty ticket to send it to the factory and back for a repair, I'm in CHILE!!!!!! and get a spare as well, as for now this is the desk I want to be a musician and forget about, engineering, leads,fx racks, etc
