Studio Use: A lot of people have used a 01V96, DM1000, 02R96 DM 2000, and the older Sony digital mixer with DAWs and were happy them.Though I am sure it would work fine, with a higher budget we went for the M32 that has better faders, mic pres, and feels more solid with high quality knobs.
Midas M32 Offline Editor Software Plug InsI would compare the LA2-A, Fairchild, and 1176 compressor it has as up there with some of the software plug ins out there.
Probably not as accurate as the UAD II versions but still very useable. Mic pres and converters sound very clean, detailed and it has a nice top end in comparison to the Mackie Onyx mixer we have now. Reminds me of comparing a mid level converters to a higher end converters. The good news is if you want a little analog color, throw a LA2-A compressor or Fairchild effect from the inserts and you can add some smoothness to the sound as well. One thing I really liked with this mixer is the dedicated controls for mic pre, gate, compressor, and EQ. Midas M32 Offline Editor Series But DontI looked at the newer Yamaha TF series but dont like working so much with a small touch screen. In addition the M32 (and X32) have dedicated faders for Group faders which switch to Bus (Many call them Auxs) for monitor sends. I took my label maker out and labeled the mute groups buttons. I like that there are two headphone jacks in the front, a lamp connection that has a bright knob. There are some quick controls on the right for your favorite functions. We just ordered a IPad and will be hooking that up to the system. Midas M32 Offline Editor Upgrade The FirmwareI was able to upgrade the firmware to the latest and put the M32 Edit software on my computer. The church uses Cubase to record the services and the M32 drivers showed up in the setup system. Being able to record 32 channels into Cubase is a real treat. With the drums in a cage, I can just ask him if he wants any adjustment in his ear monitors. We will be using the analog connectors in the back of the mixer until we redo our stage and put the Cat 5E in the house. We will probably get the dedicated mix boxes for the band as well at a later date. There are a lot of good tutorial videos on line for the M32 and X32 that makes the training a lot easier. You could use this mixer in your studio as well as there are 8 faders that can be a DAW controller. As a prior Berhringer DDX owner, there is an attraction of using faders, and knobs for mixing compared to a mouse. It really comes down to personal preference on your work flow. ![]()
