My DAW (Studio One 4.5 with Fader Port 8 controller) post production gear is totally removed and a much different process that benefits from many plug-in options.ġ) There is no difference between the processing gear needed to provide high quality live concert sound reinforcement or head phone artist cueing in the studio. The Americana music world I work in demands transparent sonic quality and very restrained filtering and embellishment. To this end 50 years of live gigs and studio work have narrowed my needs in front end bells and whistles. Unfortunately the footprint size, price and necessary ancillary gear to multi-track was not a fit for my work flow. The S21, when it was first released, was the first FPGA processing I ever heard and it was, by far, the best I had ever worked with. Have you used any other digital mixers that you would consider more for studio use? Wouldnt use it for only studio work though. It also looks great never fails to impress clients. routing multiple masters and multitracking either for broadcast/post) and portability.

Overall its a great console for live and in situations where you really need flexibility (eg.

Pricewise while it may seem cheap take in count you need to get a Drack+flightcase+either hardware comps or dmi waves card plus server. That being said its not a dealbreaker, where it really shines is the flexibility it has, in terms of routing, portability, reliability, and ease of use, there is nothing like it in its pricerange. The compressors are so bad that you will either need to get their waves system or as i do, have a rack of analog hardware. The thing is while i love this console and it suits me very well for what i do, it has a really major flaw, the dynamics on board are really bad, which is funny because one of the major selling points of the S21 was their multibands. Easy to route large sessions for multitracking because of the UB madi up to 40in/out. Ive had the S21 for about two years now working in live and broadcast, have also recorded multitrack shows into pt with it via UB Madi, definetly great if you will need to be doing studio work/recording big sessions on the road, but if you planning on doing only studio work there are much better options.
