Just got this for live band and For my personal Music Production working with Cubase on PC, ....It's Great!....really it's Great!!, effects are good and transparent (Compressors), it needs a good focus on Routing at first but once you realise the possibilities it's a shear joy, programmable User Buttons and Fader banks set ups are really useful for both live and production stuff, still finding new ways of working (Quicker!) on it and more useful tools. would highly recommend this Desk instead of the Rack Versions, or Similar or more expensive Desks . Great sounding!
