Besides, it doesn't matter. Once one works with the Crest, something like
the Onyx would be an ok secondary product, but Crest really thought of
virtually EVERYTHING in the way this baby can work. I'm almost ready to
hook mine up to the DAW and see how it really works in a studio environment
as mic pres, but I still have some ways to go to get the studio back in
shape after the remodel. I might even have had more done of JoVee hadn't
moved and kept his son in the same school because now I have a daily coffee
break with him for the mornings! g I guess I can't blame him for not
wanting to make a 45 minute trip 4 times a day to get his son to school.

Of course, it's always nice to like the purchases you've made, so most
people aren't really apt to be disgruntled unless they are working with them
a lot and have other things to choose from. But the fact is that I am
constantly pleased with the quality of this mixer, both in build and
flexibility. Everything I've thought of so far the mixer has been able to
accomodate.

Well the new Mackie Onyx mixers aren't far off price and feature
wise......


The Mackie still uses those stupid, tiny 60mm "baby" faders. Why would
they do that to a product they seem to be presenting as an "upscale"
mixer?
