MODEL 12 MULTITRACK RECORDING CONSOLE

TESTED BY CHRISTOPHER SCAPELLITI

RECORDING STRICTLY WITHIN the digital realm can be a real drag, While digital audio workstations (DAWs) have made pro-quality multitrack recording affordable for the home studio, there’s nothing like having a dedicated hardware interface to put tactile control at your fingertips. Control surfaces can improve your precision for setting levels and mixing, as well as streamline your workflow and make recording music, videos and podcasts more pleasurable.
