Welcome to the jungle.
I had a chance to use a Mackie Analog 24x8, and I must say I was shocked that the EQ was pretty nice. And I've used a lot of mixers over the years, like SoundTracs, Neve, A&H, Traynor, Tascam, Behringer, MAckie VLZ etc. Some mixers I used in live and others in studio, and some in both situations.
I wonder is people get the impression of crappy EQ from using the VLZ (or SR) series Mackie mixers. The VLZ (SR) doesn't have as powerful of a EQ section as the MAckie Analog 8 buss series recording mixers. Not to mention higher s/n ratio.
I want to get people's opinion (if you have one) about the 24.8 (or 32.8)... not the VLZ series. Of course I won't be using the master busses except for monitoring. I'll be using it only for recording with my MOTU 24, so I'll be using the direct out's from each channel. So the lack of headroom of the master section is pretty much irrelevant to me.
I got to say, I plan on researching this board some more, I might replace my SoundTracs with the Mackie 24.8 with a meter bridge.
