[QUOTE="harrybrilljr, post: 115753, member: 103"] Re: New Midas M32 Console Reading ther first 3 or 4 pages I feel like I might be the only one on the planet that figures Midas was dead the minute they were bought and they have zero cred forever at this point as a branding issue. The only way to fix "new coke" was to bring back Coke Classic and phase out the new coke. Had they not done that, the brand would have been dead, but this is more like a grocery brand in a 3rd world country buying the coke brand, raiding the recipes, then adding their own flavor and lots of local water until it's all just colored water. I have NEVER used a behringer mixing product that didn't sound like a low rate MP3, and those were analog mixers. It's like when dbx had to compete (and changed ownership too) and scrapped the 160 and 166 for the cheaper and cheaper variants and added the 266 and all those cheapie SMD EQs. But at least the dbx stuff wasn't distorted, thin, and broken sounding. They at least never released a product that was just plain garbage. What you have here is a rotten apple making the bunch bad, not the formerly best reputation in the industry somehow bringing up the worst. Just an opinion, worth what it cost. That being said if it's what is in front of me, I use it and do my best and if I think it sounds good at that moment then I won't complain. The look and feel is another thing. I saw one of these X32s (the only one I've ever seen anywhere) last June and it looked like a toy. If that sounds shocking to someone, what I see a lot of are Yamaha, Avid, Soundcraft and Digico.
