Studio owner Paul Interlande thoroughly researched his options before the purchase. "I am definitely 'old school', so I wanted an analogue desk with great features and a great sound," he explains. "The ASP8024 fell neatly into all these categories, as well as coming well within budget.
"The desk is a joy. It seems with every new project I discover another useful feature to conquer problematic scenarios," he continues. "Having 14 auxes enables me to hardwire the most used FX and create five hardwired headphone mixes; four mono and one full stereo, so very handy.
"Set up time alone is cut down, I can be up and tracking or mixing more quickly. The EQ section and mic pres are very musical and the board's layout is ergonomically smart, too."
