Re: Best high quality,super compact mixer?

[David Messenger <mssngr1@pacifier.com>]

I prefer the sound of the 90's - 00's era Studiomaster stuff. I have 4 
small Studiomasters now as I don't have room for the Allen & Heath 
cmc24. I submix 3 down to 1 for room monitoring and then drop tracks 1 
to 4 at a time into the box with a furman patchbay between what ever I'm 
recording and the room mix..
