Soundcraft GhostLE vs Midas Verona

onrozr · 16th October 2008, 08:18 PM

Hello all

I would like to get opinions about this compare .

I am very interested in GhostLE , but not having mute groups makes me think about it .

Also there is a huge price difference .
Would it worth for getting Verona instead of GhostLE ?

thanks in advance

Perhaps and older Ghost with the automation. My Ghost with the automation has mute groups. I don't use it though, I do volume, mute and pan automation ITB and everything else OTB. Mine is at unity and used for summing, eq, bus compression, headphone mix, tracking and aux routing to analog effects. I got an somewhat worn Ghost 24 with automation and a few internal problems for $1800 and had the fully monty mod done at creative audio labs. Happy with the results, works like new, perfect size for my studio. Needs to be on a regulated power supply. PM me if you get the Ghost, I found a way to add a nice padded wrist rest. I don't know how the Venus sounds.

Ghost has real parametric mids, Verona does not. This would be a deciding factor for me.

Also the Verona is really dsigned as a live desk, and the Ghost as a studio desk, with in line monitor/tape returns , monitor section fo studio work, etc.

I'd rather the Ghost in the studio and the Verona live, and have extensive experience of both in those applications. I would not want to use either in the other's place.

Regards,

Dave C.

Thanks for the answers .

I am more close to ghost even emotionally . :)

But only thing which makes me hesitate is not to have Mute Groups .
Also asking my self , if this is a very big matter
