make sure u get manual with it.And print it twice you'll need it .I think theres one on euphonix site for download ,cs3000 manual will work for cs2000 too.It is really important to understand its signal flow ,and best way is to find someone expirienced with it and beg him to explain how damn thing works .I waisted a lot of time cause i was too lazy to read damn manual but at the end it clicked .Huh there's lots of hidden tricks there.Lets say you got 6 possible inputs coming to each channel M1,M2 're "mic" ins and L1-4 are line ins.So you need to select channel ,assign some input to fader (via M1,M2,L1...buttons on central section ),then assign that fader to one of stereo busses (again via ST1 or ST2 buttons on central section) ,and you monitor all parameters for selected channel on that tiny small screen below transport controls .If you dont do that theres no sound coming in .Basically you do everything on central section .If you want to use eq on channel you need to assign it on input again ,just like you did when you selected channel and assigned fader -select EQ then ...damn its too much to type here.
You'll get nervous...very nervous befeore you figure out wtf you can't hear smth,but these snapshots are godsend .You can save everything and recall everything and use one basic snapshot for every new session .
Well best thing about it is recall ,so you can work on more songs .
Give it time and ask here if you cant figure smth out
good luck ...and yeah try search button here there were some discussions about it,but hearing is beleiving
