Description
The Ghost console comes in 16, 24 and 32 channel frames, all expandable via a 24-channel module. Signal level indication is standard on each channel, plus there's an optional meter-bridge with 12-segment channel meters and 20-segment left/right master meters for the precise metering.

Soundcraft Ghost vs Mackie 8-bus

Thinking of getting a Soundcraft Ghost mixer as a front end for my DAW. Any "Ghost"-users here? Would be nice to get some user feedback on this, what it seems to me, great "affordable" mixer. I've used the Mackie 8-bus quite a lot in the ADAT-days, so that would be a good reference for me. How does it compare in your opinion ?

Ghost vs Mackie 8 bus

May sound like a silly question, but I've used both these boards but not together so it's hard to judge. Obviously the eq was far superior on the Ghost. But just sound quality in the line inputs (I won't use either preamps) minus eq does the Ghost sound better? Why does it? It's easy to say just because one is a Mackie and the other is a Soundcraft but why is it better?

Soundcraft Ghost

I have been hereing very good things about the Ghost! I had made a mistake with purchaseing a Mackie 32 channel VLZ, but I am returning it for a full refund.

I would consider getting one used (this is the 24 channel)

Since I have great mic preamps, I am not too concerned with the on board pre, but can anyone tell me how the Ghosts are?

Thanks,
