If you want a good mixer for your money buy a Allen & Heath they are
the by far the best compact mixer I have used. I have used just about
every compact mixer you dare show up to a show with execpt the Midas
Venice and I tell you that I will always choose a A&H mixer hands
down. About the Midas Venice I have not used one but have heard
things about it let us just remember it may have the Midas name on it
but it is a low rent Midas, even the rep does not recomened it.

The Midas sounds terrific but is starting to build up a bad rep from
the poor build quality Vs cost
I would buy the soundcraft k1 over the venice if I wanted to spend that
much and get so little
