Here's my take on it. This thing sounds really, really good. The console eq and compression actually sound amazing. You could easily do a great record with this no problem. There are a few issues with the console routing which they are aware of and will probably fix soon but all in all, it's very impressive. Here's the caveat though: when I walk into a studio to do work, 90% of it suits my needs yet there is always one or two pieces of outboard gear I need to get the job done which I have to rent/bring along. No biggie, just a fact of life. I understand the need for the props to keep this a closed system for stability's sake but unfortunately it relegates this, at least for me to a great demo tool only. If one day they can find a way to open it up to third party plugs (and I'm aware of the headaches that involves) it would most certainly become the tool of choice for many, many people. As it stands now however, I'd say the future looks bright for them indeed.
