Hey guys, I'm rebuilding my studio and am currently using two Behringer MX9000 boards. Seems everyone hates these boards for some reason (maybe the copying and lawsuit situation, who knows) however, I wanted to try a new board since I've been using the MX9000 over ten years now. I was looking at the mackie sr56-8. I'm a outboard gear guy, and this seems to have the channels to replace the two Behringers. Thing is I was told this was a live board, however this particular model can very much be used in studio recording.
So, I need your take on this. Has anyone used this board, and is it a better choice than the MX9000?
My budget for a used board with the channels I need is about $2,500 maybe 3G.
Thanks guys!
Also ** If you guys can touch on something for me. An engineer friend of mines hates Mackie, he says their EQ is garbage, and noisy. Can yall give me an opinion on this. I've never used a Mackie board before. **
