I'm searching for a mixing console, so I picked up this Studiomaster 8-4-8R mixer yesterday for a 2 week evaluation. It has 8 pre amp inputs, true 4 bus and 8 tape returns. Direct outs and inserts. Sweepable mids. Talkback. I really like the way it is setup. The problem is, every pot seems scratchy, sometimes things cut in and out, etc. Everything seems to work, but it needs some definite cleaning.
My questions are 1) has anyone used one of these before? and 2) how much work is it to clean it?
I have a very limited budget. The price seemed right, as it was the same price as a new Behringer 2004. I would much rather have this (if it was clean) then the Behringer but. of course, it's gotta sound clean.
Thanks for any info on this board, Studiomasters, and cleaning in general.
