Default Re: Used board w/ Meter Bridge

In my experience, studio boards are usually stupid at doing live sound. They don't have the optimal featureset. The ability to drive monitor mixes from pre-fade auxes, especially in large number, is usually lacking. They like to split up the EQ strip in a stupid way and have those tape loop connections.

I've used one live before, and it works, but it's not my cup of tea.

Studio board sounding better? Well, maybe, but only with studio mics plugged into it in a quiet recording chamber. With SM58s or wirelesses on a live stage with other things and monitors and the like, the studio board's not going to sound any better. Plus it's out of its element.
