I thought this was the one... Not..
I got this one for using in live performances. For a large part this is experimental music and having many inputs with a small portable formfactor, Lexicon effect and usb streaming capabilities made it the perfect candidate.
Sound is pretty for sure but the low frequencies of my synths make it crack and pop easily and way before the red signal starts flashing.
There is no way to meter/view your signal flow. Live I feel like skating on thin ice. You have 3 lights metering on the master but it gives no sense of your balance or anything for that matter. To be safe I now can not let the master get higher then one light flashing.
To have the send pre fader to use the send as a possible monitor send sounds nice for monitor users but for any other user like me it is absolute stupid and it makes the build in effects unusable for me. Or I have to fade out channels and the reverb out at the same out and so on... so I cant use the effect processor in a live situation.
Then I already read a lot of complaints about the usb/computer recording but it is a drama. I can get my daw to recognize the Soundcraft but recording one channel gives dropouts in the recording and it is not able to handle the sound out without dropouts either. This is without any demanding settings no vst.. plain audio recording and playback.
So I should be giving some compliments too but I am too disappointed. I found out about the issues in due time and I can not send it back anymore. I am now working with nice sounding but hugely flawed mixer.
