I am referring to hit records, not hit movies. They made one of the best film mixing consoles in their day. It was for the function, not tone. I didn't say "bad". As it was said by Orphan Audio, I agree the late QE (Westar and the following QE/Mitsubishi all ic construction) consoles of the late 80,s were unremarkable. I pointed out that they were not at the top of the list. Congrats on your purchase. Having a large console is fun to mix on.
