It uses the same SuperAnalogue circuitry as the other SSL desks (Matrix, etc).

Set them to zero and mix in your DAW ! Duh.
Or stem out your mix and really get into the vibe of mixing on a "baby SSL" with your 8 faders without automation - whoopee, endless minutes of fun!
Summing into a hardware compressor and maybe EQ on the stereo bus, I get and do myself (through a HEDD192) but .....
Nope I just don't see the point on an X - desk, please enlighten me, and don't try to convince me 8 channels of ananlog summing is better than just the stereo bus because I've proven to myself you get the same effect just summing the two bus (= observed by Bob Katz and many others by the way)
The point of the X desk is .... ?

Well, if you look at it as a "summing box", you are missing the point... This fits what most people here on GS need in a mixer. It is an 8 channel mixer with dual inputs, inserts, effects sends & returns, monitor control, made in the UK, etc. If you can't find a use for it, then I can understand. But, some people (including myself) prefer to have a console for tracking
and mixing (especially when trying to interface analog outboard gear). A pair of these is a nice solution.
I'll be buying a pair of these for my own setup.
