I'm out looking for a good, cheap studio desk as we're forced to feed our Tascam 38 from four (!) different units if we want to do eight tracks at once. Sound wise it's fine but it's a mess to work with as the T38 don't have any input level knobs.
The desk needs to have direct outs and between eight and 16 channels to suite our needs.
Been looking at used Fostex (80's and early 90's) as well as new Allen & Heath desks. How do you like these brands?
Is there any criminally underrated fully analog desk that can be had for cheap? I'd prefer one without Lexicon or any other kind of digital effects - or at least these should be possible to bypass completely. Actually I'd prefer an old one sounding similar to 70's Yamaha powermixers - especially for their spring reverb and warm sound.
I live in Europe and the MCI desks you're all putting in high regard sound and look very appealing to me but is pretty uncommon here, at least to my knowledge.
By cheap I mean below $1000/£500. I hope you're up to sharing your opinions and experiences.
