Pete Townshend uses the Summit Audio TLA-100 as part of his monitor mix outboard effects, as reported by MMR Magazine.
"The only mixer in the 16-track market designed with the musician in mind — either you people at Soundtracs are musicians or you’ve talked to a lot of people. I’d recommend this mixer to anyone — and tell them that I paid full retail for the 16-8-16 I bought!"
“This is so quick and easy to use. You could record a demo under a bridge with a nice reverb. Or in a field. Or while busking in a train station. You can use this thing anywhere. If there is something on the Spire demo you love, you can export the key track or tracks and build it up from there in your proper studio if you happened to have one. Spire provides a click.
“I am in love with this thing.”
—Pete Townshend
