Another question. What do you think about Soundcraft Ghost compared to
Mackie Onyx?

Are we going to start playing the "is this one better than that one?"
game? If you gave this some thought, you'd realize that the two
consoles are functionally quite different, and in fact are quite
different in price. There is no Onyx, at least not presently, that's
the functional equivalent of the Ghost. The Ghost is a multitrack
recording console with eight subgroups and monitor returns on every
channel. The Onxy has, at most, four output subgroups and no monitor
returns unless you use channel line inputs.

You can use a Ghost for just about everything you can use an Onyx for,
but not the other way around. And if all you need is an Onyx's I/O
capabilities, you're wasting a lot of money on the Ghost. As far as
sound goes, they're probably similar but different. But if you need a
Ghost because of its connections, you've eliminated the Onyx. Have you
looked at the modern Trident consoles, the Oram Trident 8T or the Toft
ATB? Those are, I believe, going to be this decade's "Ghost."
