Frequently Asked Questions
The compressors are serviceable, but noticeably less transparent and more aggressive than those found on high-end desks - think a classic, slightly squashed sound.
Yes, you can record stereo output or individual channels, but it's a 1-in/1-out limitation, not a true multi-track interface.
The preamps are adequate, but you might hear some hiss at very low signal levels – best suited for moderate gain stages.
