I have a hard time getting used to digital consoles I hate flipping through screens. I would take an analog console any day over digital. i just like to be able to reach for the eq right there without scrolling through a menu.

@adminallen On this console there is no "scrolling thru screens". Simply touch one button and the center channel with all of it's normal knobs for EQ and aux sends and dynamics are at your finger tips. That's the whole idea behind the M7CL. It's just like running an analog console. Albeit you have to do things one at a time but the same is true for an analog console.

@gigbutt Actually scrolling was not the right terminology when i used it. What I meant was you have to select the channel and then go to the screen you can just reach for the knob on the channel console so to me it's slower especially in a multiband event. Just personal preference I spent my life on analog consoles like soundcraft 500B and series 2. I just don't think the digital stuff is all it's cracked up to be.

@adminallen I totally understand where you are coming from. I love the old analog consoles but I'm a real fan of the processing power that is built into a digital console! My first consoles were a Soundcraft 1S! But still, I'll take a digi console over an analog one everytime these days. Who has all the room for racks and racks of dynamic processing equipment that you have to carry around for an analog console? A Midas H3000 weighs like 800 pounds in it's roadcase and is eight feet long!

@snapascrew

A recording school will teach you the basics of a sound board. But listen....consoles for live and consoles for recording have different features, they require a different approach to gain structure. There's a lot of difference and a lot that is shared. The real issue with live sound is dealing with all the other physics and properties of sound in a big reverberant room. Remember, a studio is a tightly controlled environment which is very unlike a big concert hall.

i prefer analogue mixing. although i have used an m7cl and it was really good! its hard to get your head round at first though! still though you cant beat an analogue desk

I love running this board, its the one for me, I do love the old boards still, but I would love a digital board, I have ran this board for Ted Nugent before in Peoria IL and for a local band called Mindset Evolution I think, I also ran this for Puddle Of Mud too, these boards are easy, but so are the old ones.

@miar123 Yes, Yamaha M7CL

[miar123]

Is that mixer a yamaha?

@digico66 OK cool. Thank you for translating.....Yeah for an expensive kick drum it sounded pretty bad and required a deep notch filter in the mid-bass range......I run into guys that have great drum kits and can play them very well but the one thing they can't do is TUNE them! lol
