I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you pull the trigger on the Korg. I’m surprised it doesn’t get more love - features and quality for price is incredible. The only caveat is you can’t drive it the way you can on some old-school analogue mixers to get that extra bit of crunch on the channels. And if you’ve got decent multi channel conversion like RME then you’re golden using the busses to send your audio out for processing in the DAW.
@@synthshedYeah, it will be a huge upgrade from my Soundcraft Sig 16, doubling the amount of busses I have currently going to my soundcard. I think people are turned off by hybrid mixers and will go for a full digital mixer these days. I have so many synths and Elektron boxes though so this will be perfect. I put it on a watch list on Reverb and was immediately sent a very good offer directly from Korg Direct in NYC. I purchased on Monday! Thanks again. Subbed
Good point!. Yeah it would certainly be a bit more user friendly with LED indicators on each track - I often found myself pressing the assign buttons repeatedly to work out what was up/down.
I don’t use the mic pres much - so can’t give a useful opinion - mostly I’ve been running line level (synths samplers fx etc). What I can say is that the Korg gives masses of clean headroom compared to my vintage Mackie Onyx (to be expected I suppose) and sounds really good overall. I also like the onboard utilities like (digital) limiter and EQ.
My RME PCI card from 2005 just won't die but I want a new mixer to match the 8 inputs it has. This might be it! Good info.

@@varnishyourboardgreat news - sounds like it will be perfect for your setup. Enjoy and let me know how it works out for you!

There is no LED in the group assignment buttons? Is it easy to see what is pressed?

Awsome thanks! How does the mic pre on this sound? Better than a Mackie or tascam?

@@synthshed I've heard great things about the peter watts design on that mixer. I'll definitely pick one up. Thanks
