So as part of 2013's plan to get OTB as much as possible I got myself a Midas Venice F24. It's my first ever mixing console and I wanted to make sure to get the best I could.

Hello

Need some help or suggestions.

I'm only going to record hardware synths. (all controlled by midi)
Plan is to only use outboard effects and the
eq on my Venice and just record the stereo
out from the mixer to my soundcard.

With this approach, how do I connect my active monitors?

I'm wanting to get a small analog console for my studio. I've used a Ramsa DA7 for around 8 years, it died, and I want to move on. I can get a Midas Venice 320 for less than $3700 shipped. The other consoles I'm thinking about (Trident and Toft) are in range budge-wise as well. I am just wanting some feedback/recommendations/opinions... Thanks.

Hey guys.

I'm squirrelling away my pennies for one of these and I see prices that are all over the map!

A guy on ebay sells them new for 2300 which seems too good to be true.

I see online the retail is somewhere around 3400, but I'm not sure.

I have a quote from my favorite tube guy who carries these for 2995 plus tax. I'd like to buy it from him.

Folks

We are about to purchase a Venice for our live rig.

I'm just wondering how they perform in the studio. Mainly for tracking purposes. I'm hoping it will be good enough to track drums and maybe guitars?

Thanks
Mark

anybody got a midas, venice board? I was curious if they are more of a live board? I am looking for a board that will be good at mostly recording sessions.
Thanks

Hello,

Hello all,

I am looking at getting a Midas Venice 320 or a Crest Audio HP Eight 32 mono/5 stereo console. I am the singer/writer/producer for a NIN/Marilyn Manson type band and I am looking for the best console to use in the studio and at local venues.

I am a pop songwriter/programmer and occasional mixer. i sing too. my setup looks like this.
