These days you have to really try to make audio kit sound bad. If a
mixer has the right number of channels, the right sends and returns,
groups etc it will produce essentially perfect results no matter what
it costs.

If he is using a Mackie, and it has what he needs then he is no fool.
Should it go wrong, the experience will be a thousand times less
painful than if it was an SSL or Levers Rich.

Bob Olhsson has written about attending a location classical recording
session in Nashville where a Mackie Onyx was used for the console,
including the preamps. He said he was favorably impressed with the
sound.

Oh, the Onyx isn't bad at all, it's a huge step up from the earlier
Mackies and even the equalization is usable.

But what happens when it breaks?

You unbox the spare you bought when you bought the one that broke. Or
you work around it. Behringers tend to have the opamp at the input
go out, for example. So you bypass that "strip".
