I don't understand why everyone gets so defensive about this console. If you love it, great.. but its not for everyone.
I went thorugh extensive summing boxes tests during couple of years (in real studio situation) and shifted toward small console choice search. I would be happy that ATB 32 fulfills my expectations (as it seems that it did to so many fellow gearslutzs). In UK I had several opinions to play with new Oram's board and although Oram is not (and was never) my favorite choice (and I didn't vote with my money) it sounded to my ears definitely better than ATB. Sonically, it was right sound and I was positively surprised.
I didn't like overal quality feel of both consoles (what is understandable and not the point of my criticism at all).
Same functionality, with appropriate built quality and componentry, unfortunately costs way more, but I can't stand compromise on that, as mixing board represent very critical part of the whole process.
