Well I never dreamed that I would own some SSL products but now I do 
( apart from one or two that I built )
I'm just finishing up wiring new racks that arrived today and have been testing out the
X-Desk and Nucleus for the last three days .... now the room's all painted up and work desks are in.
These will be the "hub" of the new setup, one for analog recording and summing duties and one as the
controller for Logic / Poo tools.
I played some of my own mixes and commercial tracks that I know well, through the X-Desk - just stereo
files and it sounds really fantastic.
I don't remember ever hearing as much detail and stereo imaging through my Mackie 8 bus or the little VLZ
..... this is truly several leagues above ....... ( and should be for the price )
My GF even came in and commented on the sound without being prompted, which is VERY unusual !!
I'm VERY impressed with that and also the "Nucleus" which is now running my whole DAW setup and was pretty much
"plug and play" - I'll get into changing things to suit me as I go on but it's really a beautiful and comprehensive controller.
Will I use the preamps and USB recording side of it? .... perhaps not for now but it makes for a great total "in the box"
solution if you want to work that way.
I had a couple of questions and they got right back to me, seriously well built and exactly what I expected - and dreamed
of from SSL
It was a bit of a costly investment but is already proving to be worth every penny.
