Mackie 32-8 bus analog

i bought one of this but i sold it 3 months later because it was big console and i had no space in my room...i did not use it so much but it was e great experience for me to have a console like that!

What to say? It was and industry standard in the 90's studios, now cheaper than ever but still a great choice over some digital gear: just add a good audio interface, maybe behind its 8-submixes as if it was a multitrack tape recorder. Crystal-clear sound, near unlimited routing attitude (what a school is it!), almost uncolored mix and very high dynamics. Robust and made to last, even PSU can resist to herky-jerky voltage fluctuations... and a beast on stage too with all these send/return knobs...

You can get very high gain without a lot of noise, and the harmonic distorion is awsome. At least for its price if you use it just a summing box with some analog sound, still worth that money.
