Which is pretty much why I just use it as a big 32x8 direct box for my synth modules. Run it flat, and it gives you a fairly transparent boost from -10 to +4.
I've been doing it this way for years, and don't see any real reason to change up.
I've heard good reviews on the Midas analog mixers. The Verona seems to be a nice one for tracking, but I'm unsure of how much it costs. Anyone using a Midas Verona, or comparable analog mixer to track synth's?
