The DM3S is a seriously impressive piece of kit for the streamer, podcaster, or small band needing a flexible, recallable digital mixer. Its compact size and motorized faders make it surprisingly easy to use, especially for those transitioning from analog, and the included software is a nice bonus for getting started. It’s a premium-priced but highly capable solution for a focused workflow.
