hey
i am think about getting a Soundcraft LX7ii as my console... anyone use it or know anything more about it than the websites can offer... is this a good 'first' board for recording?
thanks...

The LX7 is a very nice mixer. It has the same pres as the Spirit line which are warm and rich. I've installed about 5 in churches and sold 20 or so and everyone loves them. It willl be money well spent for live use and even in the studio if you need that many channels.

I purchasd one about a month ago and I am really enjoying the board. The eq section has saved my butt already on an old snare track that I had recorded very poorly. I was able to put some life back into it. For the money, I couldn't find anything better.

Another church installation here ... I helped replace and old Yamaha one with this Soundcraft and even with very poor horns and amps the difference in audio 'quality' (I think I mainly mean clarity and noise) was noticable. And of course you get that magic Soundcraft colour scheme on the controls ... !

i use it here in my church, but the first version not the second..
its a great easy board to use with a nice sound, but i only know it for live use
