Chick from Atlanta Pro Music put me on to it when it first came out and gave me a demo while we drank beers. My favorite small console, especially when you control the routing digitally.
I had one for years. I found the eq was a bit to fast. For rough things it was fine. The faders are a bit too short for my taste. Where the midas really shines, is all the routing possibilities and the durability of the unit. Because of all the routing features, it is really an electronic music production dream or a superb live console. If you are ok with the eq and the short faders, grab one!
Can barely hear the kick om the Midas, but the on the SSL it's really thick and juicy. How can this be? I was quite surprised by the vast difference in sound...
Hi! It should be the Midas as they have dedicated direct outs for multitrack recording! The Mackie shines more as a Keyboard router for example if you always record only two tracks. Hope that helps! All the best, Tobi
Kann man die Preamps saturieren? Das hätte mich interessiert, wie eine leicht angezerrte Drummachine durch ihre Einzel-Outs und entsprechenden EQs klingt :) Ansonsten, danke für die Soundbeispiele
Moin! Sicher kann man mit den Preamps anzerren. Die einzel Outs habe ich nicht getestet, aber bewusst synths und Drumcomputer verzerren wird wohl öfter hier auf meinem Kanal passieren da das auf meinem Kanal auf doch recht großes Interesse stößt. Beste Grüße, Tobi
How can you say compare to the ssl six, then playback a completely different mix altogether than the one played before straight through the Venice, while simultaneously routing the SSL mix through the Venice channels?? Come on, this abandons common sense. lol. We are still hearing the Venice.
What do you mean routing the SSL through the Venice Channels? You are hearing the individual consoles, just the balance is not 100% on point as the Venice does not have stepped gain controls. All the best, Tobi
@@tobitweaksI mean, Do you not also have the outputs of the SSL Six going through the Venice as indicated by the meters when you unmute the channels on it while playing that mix? Or when the camera cuts back and forth between both consoles is it playing a different sound or is it the same?

I Miss a good Music Store! Justmusic in Berlin just closed lately…thanks for sharing and all the best, Tobi
That Six sounds really nice and punchy. I might need one

How is eq measured in speed haha
@@Jordannofun idk but theres a setting for it on my mixer
@@Jordannofun in hours per inch…haha. The slightest movement of the eq pots have a lot of effect. I hope it makes sense now.
such an amazing kit!

Same impression! Bass response seems to be not quite there on the Midas 🤔
I think it's an EQ thing.... just give a lil boost to the knobs on the Midas
Not the same tho isn‘t it? But maybe that‘s why it‘s still loved in electronic dance music?
The midas has more (mono) channels in use than the, i think, 3 stereo channels on the ssl.
Good stuff
Thank you!
Hi Toby, which preamps are better for studio recording purposes, Mackie VLZPRO or Midas Venice 240?

i got the 320 V and working on it i like it
Amazing!
Summing gives a little bit more of space/depth to the mix, not much but still noticeable

Good work 👍
Thank you!

I'm wondering where you got that desk that you are using from Tobias?
It was made by a carpenter for this Studio long time ago :) Hope that helps. All the best, Tobi

@@rook9309 It is playing a different Sound when cutting between the Consoles! You hear what you see. Hope that helps. All the best, Tobi
@@tobitweaks oh I got mixed up I thought the Six was output through the Venice. Something I would do.😅
