Hello everyone!
I'm using a Fireface 800 to record, and I need more preamps because I would like to record my band live.
I could buy preamps but as I don't have a console, I would like to buy one to use as premps and summing, and also to practice mixing.
My budget is limited (500-700€) and what I can offer right now is a Tascam M520 in very good shape and a Soundcraft 500 which need an operation in the power supply.
I think that the Soundcraft 500 is a "Live" console and the Tascam, a recording console.
I've never heard any of those two mixers and I know that for my budget I can not have the "neve" or "ssl" quality of sound, but maybe I can have a cool desk with which I can learn and perfect my skills? For what I read on the manuals about routing, flexibility, I would choose the Tascam... but... What do you guys think?
THANKS (sorry for my english...)
(I posted here because I think back in the days, they used to be "pro" console, doesn't they?)
