yeah, but after gathering what's required for such a mixing desk,
it's down to drawing up some schematics for various functional parts,
breadboarding, evaluating...that takes some time :-)

here's a "may be required in the near future" option:
although you say you don't want inserts, as mentioned
by other posters, when the time comes that you *do* (maybe),
you're stuck ! so, imo, it would be prudent to plan for at least
2 of the input channels to have an insert incorporated in the design.

it effects material cost and heat generated somewhat, what
do you think ?


In my view, the lack of insert points at both
channel and track level would severly limit the
usability of this desk, when they could be included
in the initial design for a fairly low additional cost. This is
something that Tynan will find out sooner or later.

I can appreciate his enthusiasms for a clean signal path but
the presence of a pair of normalled jacks will do nothing
to affect the quality of the signal in an adverse fashion.

Tynan must remember that the working life of this desk
may be 20 years or so. As a prof recording engineer, I
find it difficult to forecast what I might need in a week
from now let alone over a much longer time span.

Think ahead Tynan
